Yes, but usually the way to do that is to have the server listening for requests and then spawning either another process to handle the request (typically using fork() ) or to start a separate thread. Forking is slightly easier IMHO but threading is more efficient. That way you can support multiple clients at once. Thats pretty much how most web srvers work, they listen for http requests, spawn a thread/process to respond with the html and carry on listening for the next request on port 80.
