New submission from Petter S <petter.strandm...@gmail.com>:

The server in the wsgiref module is actually used a lot. For example, it is the 
server Django uses for development.

A very common thing that happens during Django development is that the web 
browser closes the connection for some reason. Then very long stack traces 
appear in the Django logs:

Obviously, this is a bit annoying when developing with Django daily. Since 
Django simply uses the wsgiref server, I though the best solution was to handle 
closed connections more gracefully there.

I think the best solution is to simply add another except clause here: 
https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/e6dac0077996b1e1f886f036d6f2606237fa4c85/Lib/wsgiref/handlers.py#L142
 . We should catch ConnectionAbortedError here and return from the function.

I am happy to create a PR if this is what we want to do.
