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
