Assuming I understand your question correctly, TCP will give you the 
bytes of the message in order. You don't see how your data is split into 
packets when using TCP. TCP knows the order of the packets because there 
is a sequence number in the TCP header that indicates packet ordering.

That's a typo, both client and server paths should allow "-' (hyphens).

Don't do any changing of the path's case. File system case sensitivity 
or insensitivity defaults to different things on different OSs. When 
grading, we won't expect you to return "Index.html" if we ask for 
"index.html".
