I’m stuck on stage 4. I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong, and I’m basically flailing at this point. Here are my logs: ```auto remote: Running tests on your code.

i finally somehow saw the missing colon after the `Content-Type` header ---

Ah, nice find @dodumosu. I know the errors here can be cryptic, we’re going to work on improving them. More on this here: > [@Stage #AP6 file not found context deadline exceeded](https://forum.codecrafters.io/t/stage-7-file-not-found-context-deadline-exceeded/50/5): > > Sorry for the delay in responding here folks! We do know that the logs for the HTTP challenge can be a bit cryptic. This is because we’re using an off-the-shelf HTTP client which doesn’t emit friendly error messages where there’s a protocol-level error (like a missing colon, or inverted CRLF etc.). We’re going to fix this by shipping our own parser with friendly errors soon (we did this for Redis recently and it was super helpful). ---

Note: I’ve updated the title of this post to include the stage ID (#CN2). You can learn about the stages rename here: [Upcoming change: Stages overhaul](https://forum.codecrafters.io/t/upcoming-change-stages-overhaul/375)
