replacing the first few lines with:

<html>
<body>

<h1>Get in the game.</h1>

<form action="user" method="POST">
First name:<br>

I still get Error 404

Interestingly enough when I modify this
http://www.w3schools.com/html/tryit.asp?filename=tryhtml_form_submit to
method="POST" it does not work either.
