There are no plans at present to add support for websockets to this 
implementation.

If so then why does it spawn multiple threads when it could just spawn one for listening that places all HttpExchange instances into a BlockingQueue or something for the developer to use in a single or multithreaded environment?
Yes, just looking at the implementation, there are 2-3 threads created. 
One thread is the listener for incoming connections,
plus one or two more for operating timer functionality. The executor is 
only used for handling incoming requests.
