101/// `Server` canonicalizes the root directory once at creation time and uses the
102/// canonical form for all subsequent requests, avoiding repeated filesystem calls.
103///
104/// # Security
105///
106/// The server protects against:
107/// - Path traversal attacks (e.g., `../../etc/passwd`)
108/// - Accessing files outside the root via symlinks
109/// - Disclosing filesystem structure (traversal and missing files both return 404)
110///
111/// # Cloning
112///
113/// `Server` is cheap to clone: a `PathBuf`, a couple of primitives, and an `Arc`'d
114/// predicate closure. Multiple clones can be used concurrently in async tasks without
115/// synchronization overhead.
116///
117/// # Example
118///
119/// ```no_run
120/// # async fn example() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
121/// use mini_static::Server;
122/// use std::path::Path;
123/// use std::time::Duration;

132/// as fixed values via [`Server::with_response_header`]. A fixed value would be either
133/// silently overridden or silently duplicated depending on the response — and a wrong

1168/// `hyper_util`'s auto builder, whose `server-auto` feature transitively enables
1169/// `hyper/http2` — so a prior-knowledge h2c client negotiated HTTP/2 against a server
1170/// that documented, tested, and tuned only HTTP/1: no stream-concurrency limit, no
1171/// frame-size bound, and a header pre-read whose `\r\n\r\n` scan the HTTP/2 preface
1172/// satisfies without being an HTTP/1 request at all. Serving a protocol nobody
1173/// configured is worse than not serving it; browsers reach h2 over TLS only, which this
1174/// crate does not terminate.
1175///
1176/// `header_timeout` and `MAX_HEADER_BYTES` are enforced by hyper itself, per request.
1177/// They were previously enforced by a hand-rolled pre-read that ran once, before the
1178/// connection was handed to hyper — which meant the first request on a connection was
1179/// bounded and every subsequent keep-alive request on that same connection was not:
1180/// a client could complete one cheap request and then trickle headers forever, or send
1181/// an unbounded header block, with neither the timeout nor the size ceiling in play.
1182/// Delegating to hyper applies both bounds to every request, and deletes ~100 lines of
1183/// socket plumbing (`read_header_prefix`, `PrefixedIo`) whose only job was to hand the
1184/// already-read bytes back to hyper.
1185///
1186/// Only the *header* phase is bounded. A response body may legitimately outlive
1187/// `header_timeout` by design — the live-reload SSE stream stays open until a watched
1188/// file changes, possibly hours later — and `header_read_timeout` does not apply once a
1189/// request's headers are complete. The connection-count ceiling
1190/// (`Server::with_max_connections`) is what bounds resource use from connections held
1191/// open indefinitely.
1192///
1193/// `.timer(TokioTimer::new())` is load-bearing, not boilerplate: hyper resolves
1194/// `header_read_timeout` against an installed timer and panics with "timeout set, but no
1195/// timer set" if there isn't one (`hyper::common::time`). The failure is loud rather than
1196/// silent, but it happens per connection inside a spawned task — where a panic takes out
1197/// the connection, not the server — so it is the keep-alive tests, not a startup check,
1198/// that hold this wiring in place.
