multi-threaded web server

The multi-threaded web server spawns a thread for each connection it receives.

Each thread uses non-blocking I/O so it can serve any number of web requests in parallel, though this is not supported by HTTP, so in practice each thread serves all the requests sequentially.

Each thread respects the keep-alive HTTP header to serve multiple HTTP requests via the same connection.
