I’m stuck on Stage #8
I’ve tried to account for missing headers, read the body fully and create the directory if not exists gracefully, yet my test logs are still:
Failed to read response:
[tester::#QV8] Received: “” (no content received)
[tester::#QV8] ^ error
[tester::#QV8] Error: Expected: HTTP-version, Received: “”
[tester::#QV8] Test failed
```python
elif method == "POST":
if url_path.startswith("/files/"):
filename = url_path[len("/files/"):]
file_path = os.path.join(directory_path, filename)
os.makedirs(os.path.dirname(file_path), exist_ok=True)
print(f"Creating file: {file_path}")
try:
with open(file_path, "wb") as f:
f.write(body)
response = "HTTP/1.1 201 Created\r\n\r\n".encode()
except Exception as e:
print(f"Error writing file: {e}")
response = "HTTP/1.1 500 Internal Server Error\r\n\r\n".encode()
else:
response = "HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found\r\n\r\n".encode()
```

I dont think you are supposed to create the folder. Maybe you’re getting permission denied because and your code is just crashing and ends up sending nothing back as response.

@muratcanozdemir Just checking, do you still need any assistance with this?
