HTTPServer already logs the request - using sys.stderr, but you may  
override log_message() if you want:
http://docs.python.org/library/basehttpserver.html#BaseHTTPServer.BaseHTTPRequestHandler.log_message

If you want to log the response, do that in the request handler, a good  
place would be at the end of your do_GET() method above.
