Flask request.form not retrieving any data

I'm posting data to the following Flask view using an HTML form. For some reason, the server is never created. I've confirmed that the create_server method works from the interpreter. Another form I'm using to log in works. Why isn't this working?

@app.route('/add-server/', methods=['GET', 'POST'])
def add_server_view():
    if request.method == 'post':
        server_name = request.form['server_name']
        create_server(server_name)
        return redirect(url_for('index')

    return render_template('add_server.html')

<form method=post>
    <input name=server_name>
</form>

request.method will be in all caps and the comparison is case sensitive.

if request.method == 'POST':

This code in Werkzueg forces the method name to uppercase for consistency.
