Duplicate inline path traversal validation added in handler; extract into a shared helper to avoid repeated logic and reduce file bloat.
Details
✨ AI Reasoning
The change adds repeated path traversal validation blocks into multiple request-handling functions. This introduces duplicated logic (same Path::new + components check + identical error handling) in several places, increasing code duplication and the file's size. Duplicated validation scattered across handlers makes future updates/error message changes error-prone and contributes to maintainability issues in an already large source file. A single shared helper would reduce duplication and keep the file more focused.
🔧 How do I fix it?
Split large files into smaller, focused modules. Each file should have a single responsibility.
