Unable to call OpenAI API from within a docker container

Question

I am trying to call the OpenAI API from within my docker container but the request is timing out. The same curl works on my machine but not from within my container

I tried running this curl. It worked on the host machine but not in the container.

  curl https://api.openai.com/v1/models \
  -H 'Authorization: Bearer sk-auth-token' \
  -H 'OpenAI-Organization: org-orgid'

Here is my Dockerfile. Please let me know what I am missing here. Also, I'd like to add that I am able to call it sometimes but other times it timeouts.
