Review Summary
Great job implementing the file routing and security checks! Your server correctly handles all the specified paths and prevents directory traversal.
However, this requires changes because all files are currently served with a Content-Type of text/plain. This is a critical issue as it prevents browsers from rendering content correctly. For example, an HTML file will be displayed as raw source code instead of a webpage, which defeats the purpose of a static file server.
To fix this, you'll need to dynamically set the Content-Type header based on the requested file's extension. For instance, .html files should have a content type of text/html, and .css files should be text/css.

The Content-Type is hardcoded to text/plain. For an HTML file, this will cause the browser to display the raw HTML source code instead of rendering it as a webpage. The content type should be set appropriately for the file being served (e.g., text/html for .html files).

The Content-Type is hardcoded to text/plain. This will cause browsers to treat all file types, such as CSS or images, as plain text, preventing them from being used correctly on a webpage. The server should set the correct MIME type based on the extension of the file being served.
