When using the (threaded) netconn API, you will have to use multiple threads, 
I.e. Create a new thread for every client connection. The main thread will sit 
in a loop on accept(), while every new netconn returned by accept will be 
passed to a thread.

Using the socket API, you could also use select and nonblocking sockets to 
prevent blocking on one connection.

Another way would be to use the raw API like the other web server in contrib.
