Your mission is to write a web server. I will test this by
pointing Chrome/Edge/Safari at your server, and expecting everything
to work. You can find a sample of the combined logfile format,
and a server that shows you what
clients send as requests.
I do not expect anyone to get all
these items. This is just a laundry list. Get the ones that interest
you!
