Opensearch connection error

[ErnestaP]

The following code snippet gives an error on GitHub actions:

   def test_get_article(self, user, api_client):
        user_token =  Token.objects.create(user=user)
        response = api_client.get(
            "/search/article", content_type="application/json", follow=True
        )
        assert response.status_code == status.HTTP_200_OK

Error:

    def _read_status(self):
        line = str(self.fp.readline(_MAXLINE + 1), "iso-8859-1")
        if len(line) > _MAXLINE:
            raise LineTooLong("status line")
        if self.debuglevel > 0:
            print("reply:", repr(line))
        if not line:

            # sending a valid response.
