I can't reproduce your issue on Azure App Service with Express. However, the following is what I tried so far.
My folder structure:
My app.js code looks like:
var express = require('express') var app = express() app.use(express.static('public')) app.get('/', function (req, res) { res.send('Hello Azure!') }) app.get('/search', function(req, res) { res.send(200, 'Test') }) app.listen(process.env.PORT || 3000, function () { console.log('Example app listening on port 3000!') })
My test.html code:
<html> <head> <title>Test</title> </head> <body> <form action="search" method="GET"> <input type="text" name="q" /> <button type="submit">Search</button> </form> </body> </html>
web.config:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <!-- This configuration file is required if iisnode is used to run node processes behind IIS or IIS Express.

Tested result:
And could you share the web.config file which you are using? My guess is you're missing out on a simple thing there.
