Here are the nodes without the function node output connections. Clicking "Simcoe" works fine.
When the inject of 'Watford' is clicked, the get http node should just flash requesting and then clear the node status, as occurs with "Simcoe" ... and it does but only when just a debug is connected to the get http output (not the function node). There is never any lock up in this case.
When the function node is connected to the http output and Watford clicked, the node.status of the get http node stays stuck on requesting and then the "Loading Node Credentials" eventually pops up and NR is locked up. Incidentally the 'port' that seems to be locked out (as I recall) is local host:1880.
Here are the nodes and code:
