Why doesnt my website sub url working when submitting form but works when i manually enter it-CodePudding

I have a form on localhost:8080 which when you enter form data (user & pass), then press submit, it meant to send a POST to localhost:8080/submit, then should show text on that page saying "Submit page". When I enter "localhost:8080/submit" into my browser, it works, but when I use the submit button to get there, it says "This site can’t provide a secure connection" (aka, doesn't work)

script.js

const url = "https://localhost:8080";
const data = {
    "user": "user",
    "pass": "pass"
}

function send() {
    alert("Sent")
    $.post(url, data, function (data, status) {
        console.log("Sent "   data   ", status is: "   status)
    });
}

body {
    background-color: #444444;
}

.form-div {
    width: 100%;
    height: auto;
    text-align: center;
    justify-content: center;
    align-content: center;
    border: 1px solid red;
}

form {
    color: white;
}

Thank you in advance! I am not too familiar with nodejs servers yet

Don't use https, use http when developing locally.
