PermissionError: [Errno 13] Permission denied gets thrown when starting the script in CGI, but not in bash

Question

I have a python script on my HTTP server(CentOS 7) responsible for responding to the client browser, it works fine in bash, but when I try to access it via cgi, it just throws an error. It works fine on Ubuntu(both via HTTP and shell) The script is:

import socket
HOST = '127.0.0.1'
PORT = 4345

print("Content-type: text/html; charset=utf-8\n\n")
sock = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
sock.connect((HOST, PORT))
query = 'foobar'
sock.sendall(bytes(query, 'utf-8'))
buffer = sock.recv(1024)
responce = str(buffer, "UTF-8")
print(responce)

The error I am getting, when I run the script via CGI is:

PermissionError: [Errno 13] Permission denied
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/var/www/cgi-bin/script.py", line 8, in <module>
   sock.connect((HOST, PORT))
PermissionError: [Errno 13] Permission denied

The output of 'getsebool -a | grep httpd' is:

The solution was to allow httpd to connect to the network. I just set httpd_can_network_connect to on with setsebool, and it started working. Note, that to make the solution permanent, you need to use the -P switch too.
