```auto
var iter = std.mem.split(u8, input, " ");

```

Regular split is deprecated.

There is also an error in build.zig.zon file:

```auto
.name = .codecrafters_http_server

```

error: expected string literal

So it should be wrapped in double quotes.

Hey @WojciechChuchro, thanks for highlighting the issues!

Could you confirm which version of Zig you’re using?

We’re currently using **Zig 0.14** , which introduced some breaking changes. For example:

`.name = "codecrafters_http_server"` will now throw an error:

> `var iter = std.mem.split(u8, input, " ");`  
> Regular split is deprecated.

Would you mind sharing more details for `split`?
