Internal web API Call

Question

Hi, 
 When I call a web API from another web API within the same server, the external url parameter value of the final web API iin the httppost request doesn't seem to work but I have to give the localhost url - like this :localhost:8080/.../webapiname. Why is that and will this work in all environments? I understand it is not ideal to call this way, but I a little confused as to why the direct url is not working.

This looks like an issue with local DNS resolution. I suggest to contact your sys admins.

If the FQDN doesn't work, that means the machine can't resolve that domain. As I mentioned before, there are 2 possibilites: 
 1. There is an issue with DNS resolution on the host machine. 
 2. There is a firewall preventing communication to the outside.
