flask + ngrok - redirect doesn't work

I've got the following app:

server.py

@app.route('/')
    def main():
    return render_template('index.html')

@app.route('/login')
    def login():
    return 'hey'

index.html

<body>
 <form action="http://localhost:5000/login" , method="post">
 <input type="submit" value="submit">
</body>

Now I run ngrok:

ngrok http 5000

After typing address (generated by ngrok) into web browser I can see index.html page with button, but when I press the button it redirects me to http://localhost:5000/login where I can see: "connection refused". My question is how to set ngrok and flask server the way they can communicate?

P.S. I've put only a part of my code just for better reading

Solution

  • What happens if you add the POST method to the login route

    @app.route('/login', methods=['POST'])
def login():
    return 'hey'

    and change the form action to

    <body>
 <form action="/login", method="post">
 <input type="submit" value="submit">
</body>

    hm?
