added <meta charset=utf-8> to everything, copied user_info.html into get_user_info.html and changed the request method to GET for experimental purposes
updated to include query string parsing, created a uniform request object for get and post that contains 'type', 'path', 'query', and 'body' -- see separate function, get request from form still doesn't redirect correctly
