# This is a bash script that creates a simple server that responds with "Hello, World!" when the root URL is requested.
# It also serves static files from the current directory for any other requested URLs.

# Set the root URL response
echo "Hello, World!" 

# Set the appropriate header for the response
# The -e flag enables interpretation of backslash escapes, allowing us to use special characters like \r and \n
# The Content-Type header specifies the type of content being sent, in this case plain text
echo -e "HTTP/1.1 200 OK\r\nContent-Type: text/plain\r\n"

# Use a while loop to continuously listen for requests
while true; do
    # Read the request from the client and store it in the REQUEST variable
    read REQUEST

    # Check if the request is for the root URL
    if [[ $REQUEST =~ ^GET\ /\ HTTP/1\.1$ ]]; then

# Serve static files from the current directory

# The -r flag enables recursive copying, allowing us to serve files from subdirectories as well
cp -rp . /var/www/html

# Start the server by running the copied files in the /var/www/html directory
# The -S flag specifies the port to listen on, in this case port 8000
# The -d flag runs the server in the background, allowing us to continue using the terminal
python -m http.server -S 8000 -d /var/www/html

# Create an empty file named __init__.py in the my_static directory
touch my_static/__init__.py

# Run the hello.py script with the --cgi option to serve static files from the my_static directory
./hello.py --cgi

# Explanation:
# The first line creates an empty file named __init__.py in the my_static directory.
# This is necessary for the server to serve static files from that directory.
# The second line runs the hello.py script with the --cgi option, which enables the server to serve static files.
# This allows the server to display the contents of the my_static directory when the user visits http://0.0.0.0:8000/.
