having trouble validating request line in server.c
I have come up with my own solution after doing some research on pointer math.

Pset6 Server.c: 404 Error only when submitting query on hello.html, everything else works
According to your terminal output, abs_path is wrong. Unless you have a file named hello.php?name=gege019, 404 is the right answer. abs_path should not include the ? or anything that follows.

To ensure the file is readable
This can be done by using "access", as suggested in the pset sheet.
e.g.
use
access(path, R_OK)
to check if the file is readable, and it'll return 0 if readable and return -1 if not.
