How to get post requests to work for an Azure Python Web App?

Question

I've been working on a web app and have been able to get it to send back an image when running it locally, but I can't get it to work once I have deployed it to Azure. Whenever I try to run a post request, I get the following error, that shows up on the azure web app's logs as well as the error handling for the code sending the request. How would I go about getting it so that I could send a post request to this web app and get a response?

The error is:

Failed to retrieve the image. Status code: 405


	
	<h1>Method Not Allowed</h1>
	<p>The method is not allowed for the requested URL.</p>

The deployed code is as follows:

import
import
import
import
from
from
import
import

def
	logging.info(
# Check if an image was uploaded
	if
		return
 			json.dumps({
			status_code
			mimetype
 		)
	image 
	if
		return
 			json.dumps({
			status_code
			mimetype
 		)
# Save the uploaded image temporarily
 	filename 
 	file_path 
	with
 		f.write(image.read())
# Process the image using process_img function
 	tactile_image_path 

and I am sending a request for the time being with the following code:

import requests
import mimetypes
import os
import time
def send_image_post_request(url, image_path):
    # Open the image file in binary mode
    with open(image_path, 'rb') as image_file:
        # Send a POST request with the image as part of the form data
        mime_type, _ = mimetypes.guess_type(image_path)  # Get the mime type, causing issues RN
        files = {'file': (image_path, image_file, mime_type)}
        response = requests.post(url, files=files)
        
    return response  # Return the response object
def save_image_from_response(response, image_path):
    if response.status_code == 200:
        output_dir = 'tmp'
        # Create a unique output filename, using the MIME type from the response or file extension
        mime_type, _ = mimetypes.guess_type(image_path)  # Get MIME type for the file
        file_extension = mime_type.split('/')[1]  # Get file extension (e.g., 'jpeg')
        output_filename = f"tactile_{int(time.time())}.{file_extension}"  # Unique filename with timestamp
        # Ensure the directory exists
        os.makedirs(output_dir, exist_ok=True)
        
        # Define the full path to save the image
        output_path = os.path.join(output_dir, output_filename)
        # Save the image content to a file
        with open(output_path, 'wb') as out_file:
            out_file.write(response.content)
        
        print(f"Image downloaded successfully and saved as {output_path}")
    else:
        print(f"Failed to retrieve the image. Status code: {response.status_code}")
        print(response.text)
def main():
    url = "https://tactileimagegenerator-a2d9g9gwg4dfdjfe.westus-01.azurewebsites.net/"#input("Enter the URL: ")
    image_path = "images_requests/old_main_snow.jpeg"#input("Enter the image path: ")
    
    # Send POST request and get the response
    response = send_image_post_request(url, image_path)
    
    # Save the image from the response
    save_image_from_response(response, image_path)
# Run the main function
main()
