Medusa uses non-blocking sockets, so check out get_request in the
TCPServerService class.

In particular after accepting the new connection in Medusa, you don't need
to issue the .setblocking(1) call. You should still call WSAEventSelct()
just in case someone else down the chain would like to turn the socket into
a blocking socket again.
