Login serves a raw JSON file while JavaScript is disabled

[halotroop2288]

Describe the Bug

The login page serves a raw JSON file as a response to a login attempt while JavaScript is blocked on the webpage.

This issue serves as a quick answer for others having this problem, but I think it could also be handled better by the backend. Feel free to close this if it is considered invalid.

Steps to Reproduce the Bug

1. Install NoScript or disable JavaScript on your browser
2. Go to https://viewtube.io
3. Press the Sign In button in the top right
4. Enter your credentials and press enter
5. Be served a raw JSON file as a response.

Expected Behavior

The error is served as a text box on the login page.
