I would like to debug my Flask API. The API requires a JSON payload from a user. I am supplying that payload through Postman.I am using PyCharms debugger and am able to debug for a few seconds before Postman times out and the connection is lost and I must start again. I have already set request timeout to infinity 
How can I maintain the connection in order to continue debugging?

1You could use the command line utility curl. – mechanical_meat Jan 30 '20 at 20:24

Could you expand on how that works and how it would solve the problem? – Josh Zwiebel Jan 30 '20 at 20:27

Look at this post for how to send JSON using curl: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/7172784/how-do-i-post-json-data-with-curl – mechanical_meat Jan 30 '20 at 20:33

Do you know of a solution using Postman – Josh Zwiebel Jan 30 '20 at 20:47

I don't, but judging from what's in the image maybe you should turn off SSL certificate verification since you're POSTing to a http:// address. Oh, and try adjusting the Request timeout. – mechanical_meat Jan 30 '20 at 20:56

I just tested and cURL has the same issue with timeout. I tried turning off SSL verification but no change – Josh Zwiebel Jan 30 '20 at 21:13

The timeout time for a given Flask app can be edited in it's given config property. Setting 'timeout' to the number of seconds you need before the request time's out will solve the issue.
