If there is no slash at the end in URL, unable to obtain a file which is in a sub-directory of served folder.

For ex:
index file in ./web/some/index.html
url: http://127.0.0.1:3000/some

we get a error:
cat: someindex.html: No such file or directory

but:
url: http://127.0.0.1:3000/some/
provides a result we are expecting

There is a need to split the functionality to modules as the application grows. Bash doesn't provide any convenient includes. To include different parts of the application 'source' is used. It pastes a text of a file specified to main program. So, we can have functions with the same names. To prevent this we can simulate namespaces by adding prefix, for instance, module name to each function in current module.

According to RFC 2616 "19.6.1.1 Changes to Simplify Multi-homed Web Servers and Conserve IP Addresses":
"The requirements that clients and servers support the Host request-header, report an error if the Host request-header (section 14.23) is missing from an HTTP/1.1 request, and accept absolute URIs (section 5.1.2) are among the most important changes defined by this specification."

Edge browser tries to download html files without correct content-type header received from bashttp.
Need to add content type for html files.

Need keep-alive connection to be supported by the server.
Any information can be found at the link below.
https://tools.ietf.org/id/draft-thomson-hybi-http-timeout-01.html

This server doesn't support keep-alive connection type. Before it is not implemented need to set 'Connection' header to 'close'.

Use for codestyle validation.
Format all the code using shellcheck.

Functions (such as 'try_route') return a code for server response. But this code is a function's own exit status which could be a 8-bit value from 0 to 255, where 0 means "success". Now it is unable to return, for example, 404 response code. Need to fix and improve that logic.

If page is not available the server needs to send 404 page/message.
For the first time, it's ok to give json message to a client such as

{
  "code": 404,
  "message": "Not Found"
}
