[New-bugs-announce] [issue24292] wsgiref.simple_server.WSGIRequestHandler doesn't log request timeouts

[Jonathan Kamens]

New submission from Jonathan Kamens:

http.BaseHTTPRequestHandler logs request timeouts. In handle_one_request():

        except socket.timeout as e:
            #a read or a write timed out.  Discard this connection
            self.log_error("Request timed out: %r", e)
            self.close_connection = 1
            return

Unfortunately, wsgiref.simple_server.WSGIRequestHandler, which overrides BaseHTTPRequestHandler's handle() method, does _not_ catch and log request timeouts. Fixing this is a simple matter of wrapping the entire body of its handle() function in a try with this except clause:

except socket.timeout as e:
    self.log_error("Request timed out: %r", e)
    raise
