Is there some standard way to get something which _isn't_ in

own socket handling?

I just want to point out that you should not spawn a thread for
each accepted socket. That is very bad and expensive.
You should instead make it non-blocking and use something like
select to handle it.
If anything you should use a thread pool that each handles a set
of sockets, instead of each thread being a single socket.
