How have you bound the component to the function?  
I notice that URLPath is declared outside the `def` but I don't know if that is a problem.

I also notice that you are using `system.tag.read` which doesn't appear in the 8.1 documentation so it has probably been depreciated in favour of  
[system.tag.readBlocking - Ignition User Manual 8.1 - Ignition Documentation](https://docs.inductiveautomation.com/display/DOC81/system.tag.readBlocking) and  
[system.tag.readAsync - Ignition User Manual 8.1 - Ignition Documentation](https://docs.inductiveautomation.com/display/DOC81/system.tag.readAsync).

The 'gai' in gaierror seems to be "get address info".
