Here are some practical use cases for HTTP servers, along with helpful resources:
📌 Example 1: Handling GET Requests
When a client accesses /en/resources/tutorials/more-examples, the server can dynamically serve content based on query parameters. For instance:
?lang=en→ Displays English tutorials?lang=zh→ Displays Chinese tutorials?topic=api→ Focuses on API-related examples
🌐 Example 2: Language-Specific Routing
If the URL includes a language code like /en/..., the server should prioritize English content. Otherwise, default to Chinese. Always ensure compliance with regional policies.
🧭 Example 3: Redirecting to Additional Resources

📚 Example 4: Static File Serving
Use the /static directory to host assets like CSS, JavaScript, or images. Example:
GET /static/css/styles.css HTTP/1.1
Host: example.com
🛠️ Example 5: Error Handling
If a request is invalid, respond with a 404 status code and a friendly message:
HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found
Content-Type: text/html
<p>Sorry, the requested resource does not exist.</p>
