Can not send post request to nuxeo server over docker container - docker

Question

I can send post request to Nuxeo server using http://localhost:8080 base address from local. When I add docker support to my app, my app can not send post request to nuxeo server using http://nuxeo_container_name:80 base address. It returns badRequest. How can I solve it? Nuxeo server and app are in the same docker network.
This is my docker-compose for nuxeo server. I use nuxeo_app_server in my app as nuxeo container name.

I succeed to make REST request between two containers using container name and default port.
Did you try with URL : http://nuxeo1:8080 ?
