Abstract
As should be evident by now, a server has the ability to provide a tailored response to best match the indicated method, resource, and the configured headers of an incoming request. This protocol, when paired with static content, can be utilized by the server software to translate an incoming request into a location for said resource located on its file system. The specified path of the resource is translated via the server software into that of a determined directory, for which a file is thought to exist. The response is either the content of the file or a 404 page.
