Don't do this.

Just have a thread of execution that is in a while loop doing the accepts on 
the socket, and have it spawn threads to handle the connections.

def handle_connection(session)
   puts "Request: #{session.gets}"
  session.print "HTTP/1.1 200/OK\r\nContent-type: text/html\r\n\r\n"
  session.print "<html><body><h1>#{Time.now}</h1></body></html>\r\n"
  session.close
end

while (session = server.accept)
  Thread.new {handle_connection(session)}
end
