Request Processing

1. New request is recieved in server_listen_loop()
2. server_listen_loop() opens the request, queueing a new job to process the request
3. Free thread picks up the job
4. handle_connection() retrieves basic information about the request
5. handle_connection() attempts to query the router for a matching path
6. handle_connection() sends the appropriate data back to the client
7. handle_connection() closes out the client socket
