"Connection reset error" when running apitest.py

Hi SONiC-RESTAPI folks,
I was able to build both images. However, when I attempt to run "python apitest.py" on the container with the local image "rest-api-image-test_local:latest", the following error results:

...
ERROR: test_config_status_reset_get (main.ra_client_positive_tests)

Can you kindly provide feedback?

Start by reproducing the failure with python apitest.py in the rest-api-image-test_local:latest container and inspect the test_config_status_reset_get traceback. Check the API server and container logs around the connection attempt; done means identifying the reset cause and confirming the apitest suite runs successfully.
