Unhandled request. Did you select a folder to serve?

[lbaroncini]

I don't understand what's happening, I have an index.html with a form pointing at a processform.py script in the same folder. I have selected this folder for the server, but it gives me this error:
Unhandled request. Did you select a folder to serve?
Please, help.
Thanks,
Leo

Can you open a new tab and put in chrome://version and paste in the info you get

[lbaroncini]

Hi Kzahel, Thank you for replying so quickly!

Now I'm getting this message:

"External Protocol Request
Google Chrome OS does not support launching an external application to handle localhost links. The link requested is localhost:8887/processform.py"

I am very new to Google Chrome, so I don't know how to get the version, but this laptop is few days old so I guess it has the lastest OS version, whichever that is.

[kzahel]

I need to know which version of chrome and OS etc so that I can try and figure out what might cause the problem... because I don't see it on any of my computers.

You should be able to open a new tab and type chrome://version into a tab, and then you can copy and paste that information here, or take a screenshot

Oh, I see, ok this is what I got:

Ok everything looks good to me there. Did you click on Choose Folder button in the app? And choose a directory? And you still get the error "unhandled request..."

[lbaroncini]

I have chosen a directory yes, and now this is the message I get:
"External Protocol Request
Google Chrome OS does not support launching an external application to handle localhost links. The link requested is localhost:8887/processform.py"

[kzahel]

Ok, can you maybe try opening a new browser tab, and typing in the URL: http://127.0.0.1:8887/

[lbaroncini]

I have, and it automatically opens my index.html file with my form pointing at my python script "processform.py" and then as soon as I click on the submit button it gives me the message I pasted above...

[kzahel]

Oh, okay. Well I think the problem you're having is beyond the scope of what I can help you with. This project only serves static files. It cannot do any dynamic form processing out of the box. You might need to use Apache or something else. On a chromebook, you can look into using "crouton" which can let you install that.

[lbaroncini]

Oh ok, I will try that. Thank you so much for your help and time.
