Go to http://www.deja.com and do a search.  Same code has been posted many
times before.

Yes.

A thread is not strictly required.  Typically, a thread is only used when
you want to process data asynchronously, usually because you do not know
when data will be arriving.  But if you are sending data, then reading a
response, for instance, then you don't need to use a thread, unless such
operations will block other code from working properly.

Yes.

No.
