you can print outputType value for check reason

I have this problem under Ubuntu and not Windows. In server.py, line 133 you'll see

outputDirectory = str(postvars['outputDirectory'][0])

If you print out the value with the following you get different values under Windows and Ubuntu

print("postvars['outputDirectory'][0]: " + str(postvars['outputDirectory'][0]))

Under ubuntu this gives b'{timestamp}' and under windows it gives the correct {timestamp}

I'm not a Python guy but it seems str conversions are handled differently under each OS. On a quick Google search it's something to do with being a byte array and not understanding the character encoding when using str(). Anyway in Ubuntu I swapped out that block of code for this

elif parts.path == '/start-download':
	outputType = str(postvars['outputType'][0], 'utf-8')
	outputScale = int(postvars['outputScale'][0])
	outputDirectory = str(postvars['outputDirectory'][0], 'utf-8')
	outputFile = str(postvars['outputFile'][0], 'utf-8')
	minZoom = int(postvars['minZoom'][0])
	maxZoom = int(postvars['maxZoom'][0])
	timestamp = int(postvars['timestamp'][0])
	bounds = str(postvars['bounds'][0], 'utf-8')
	boundsArray = map(float, bounds.split(","))
	center = str(postvars['center'][0], 'utf-8')
	centerArray = map(float, center.split(","))

Note all str functions having the second argument passed in. Anyway there is probably a correct way to fix this, but this got it running for me for now.

If I get time to figure it out properly I'll post back.

I'm currently porting the code to Electron since there are too many python issues including version confusions and performance hits. The v2 will be significantly faster and easier to run
