I've error with the URL.Did some research and tried to clear still not so sure why the client part throws error while server part works fine.

Did you run your program in a debugger? It'd probably lead you to the exact line of code that's triggering the undefined behavior. — Stephen Newell
You completely changed this from a question about C++ to a question about python. Why didn't you just ask a new question? — Stephen Newell

This is caused due to the firewall of your computer blocking port 8080. Change the port from 8080 to say 8085 in both the client and server files.

In the above code, Change QUERY = "http://localhost:8080/query?id={}" To QUERY = "http://localhost:8085/query?id={}"

Similarly, there should be 8080 as the port number in the server file, change it to 8085.

Another solution would be to disable your firewall, which is not recommended.
