[Python] Python requests POST request hangs, when used with websockets library [duplicate]

I'm using Python requests to send a POST request, while concurrently maintaining a WebSocket connection using the websockets library:

import asyncio
import requests
import websockets

async def websocket_handler(uri):
async with websockets.connect(uri) as websocket:
while True:
message = await websocket.recv()
print(f"Received message: {message}")

async def make_request():
s = requests.Session()
print(1)
try:
response = s.post('http://192.168.1.4/create', timeout=10)
print(3)
print(response.text)
except requests.exceptions.Timeout:
print("The request timed out") # this happens
except requests.exceptions.RequestException as e:
print(f"An error occurred: {e}")

async def main():
websocket_task = asyncio.create_task(websocket_handler("ws://example.com/websocket"))
request_task = asyncio.create_task(make_request())
await asyncio.gather(websocket_task, request_task)

if __name__ == "__main__":
asyncio.run(main())


The server logs show no request. The server is reachable and correctly configured. What could be causing this issue when using requests with websockets?
