Reverse DNS lookup is THE reason. Thank you very much Irmen. I put my remote computer into windows/system32/drivers/etc/hosts and the problem disapeared. The DNS name is indeed in the log which is written to the console. Thanks again.
Is there a way to disable the reverse DNS lookup in the wsgiref.simple_server? Quick googling didn't reveal much.
