Server set up using app.yaml, cron.yaml, etc. But directories aren't recognized

Question

As the title says, the server has been configured to recognize sub directories but for whatever reason they are not being recognized when I load a web page. Is there any way to debug what is going on?

  ICE_SERVER_URLS: ""

  HEADER_MESSAGE: ""

Here is the response from the server

The server I'm configuring can be found here. What I'm trying to do is create a server (that has already been written - just not configured) that takes video streams generated by my google glass and allows people to join a room where they can see my video stream. My google glass can then see their webcam feeds in my display. The platform I set the server up on is Debian 10. The tools are Google App Engine SDK for Python, Node.js, and Grunt. Part of the website is also written in Go.

The server is started by running

./collidermain -tls=true -port=8089 -room-server=http://example.com

And also running

python ../google-cloud-sdk/bin/dev_appserver.py --host example.com ./out/app_engine

The reason I'm asking for help is that the directories specified in the app.yaml file I show above are correctly placed relative to the index file that is used. So idk why it won't fetch them. The website is a replica of this website

If you need me to elaborate further please let me know and I'll try!

So, it looks like that the webserver that this is designed to run on isn't meant to run on https. And the server itself won't function fully without an https connection.

Your question is lacking context. What are you trying to do? On what platform? With which tools? From what you are (not) saying, it could be anything (one may infer google-app-engine is involved, but that's it) — Alien Life Form, Aug 12 '21 at 09:30
@AlienLifeForm Hey I updated the post to hopefully provide more context and explain what the problem is. Let me know if you need additional information. Thank you! — wookieluvr49, Aug 12 '21 at 16:31

The software I set up is strictly for a dev environment meant to be run on localhost. In order to set up a production environment I have to use google web services. So that's why the website won't work.

For anyone who comes across this in the future:

You need ssl in order to be able to visit rooms in the software
ssl is not supported unless you use a google web service
you can configure the web service to use your domain so you have the option of setting up a sub domain or just out right use your main domain for the app.

Server set up using app.yaml, cron.yaml, etc. But directories aren't recognized
