Updated notes.md, implemented methods in api.py

One internet enabeled service I use regularly is Google as a search engine. I would think that Google uses a very complex version of the HTTP request and response systems that we worked on in this lab. The request is my search query from my machine, and the response is the search results coming from Google servers.This lab has given me a deeper understanding of how the internet and HTTP work. Before this lab, these services that I use just worked, and I never thought about how. Now, when I load a webpage or use an internet service, I have more background as to what is going on.

 the riddle server. Paste below several `http` requests and the status codes
 they return.
