[libmicrohttpd] MHD_add_connection Problems

[Damon Earp]

I cannot get `MHD_add_connection` to work at all, regardless of the flags I pass to `MHD_start_daemon`.

Environment: Debian 10, libmicrohttpd 0.9.62

I've attached a test that I tried to get workin to no avail. I never get an error but microhttpd never starts up the epoll thread either, in fact if I start_daemon then stop_daemon with NO_LISTEN_SOCKET I get an error from mhd because it cannot join the non-existent thread.

I've tried using USE_EPOLL + MHD_run() which didn't do anything.

I've tried creating a second listen socket, which I don't use, and passing it to start_daemon without the no listen socket. This does force the epoll thread to be created but add_connection still doesn't work.

I'm obviously missing something basic. Examples are few and far between.

Thanks for help in advance!
