## Overview
The `http-handle` is a robust Rust library designed for serving static websites. It provides a simple yet efficient HTTP server implementation with features like request parsing, response generation, and basic security measures. The library is not intended to be a full-fledged web server but rather a lightweight solution for serving static files over HTTP for development and testing purposes.
## Features
- **Static File Serving**: Serve static files from a configured document root.
- **Request Parsing**: Parse incoming HTTP requests with proper error handling.
- **Response Generation**: Generate appropriate HTTP responses based on requests.
- **Security Measures**: Prevent directory traversal attacks.
- **Content Type Detection**: Automatically detect and set appropriate content types for files.
- **Customizable 404 Handling**: Support for custom 404 error pages.
- **Threaded Connections**: Handle multiple connections concurrently using threads.
- **Configurable Server**: Easy configuration of server address and document root.
