Welcome to our community! 😃

It sounds like you have a firewall or proxy in use that is stopping interaction. I don't think that's anything we can help with sorry to say.

You need to tell curl how to use the proxy. See curl documentation for this.

Or configure your proxy to exclude 127.0.0.1

Or use Kibana and its dev console.
