-In this example, we use `conn.Read()` to constantly read client requests. We cannot close the connection because clients may issue more than one request. Due to the timeout we set using `conn.SetReadDeadline()`, the connection closes automatically when a client has not sent a request within our allotted time period. When then expiry time has elapsed, our program breaks from the `for` loop. Notice that `request` needs to be created with a max size limitation in order to prevent flood attacks. Finally, we clean the `request` array after processing every request, since `conn.Read()` appends new content to the array instead of rewriting it.
