Hi Stefan,

Thanks for that. I was wondering though, the hanging does occur immediately after the first request is received

Yes, because right after you've started the new thread, it gets destructed, because the main thread leaves the loop-body-scope and thereby clears away everything (loop-scope locally) initialized on the stack including the thread-object. This programming error is similar to returning local objects from functions.

Please, turn line 167 into:

http_thread *thr = http_thread(client);

and see what happens. Nevertheless, this is no good solution, as you infinitely produce threads without cleaning up.
