Use timeouts in a HTTP Server?

Question

Should I use Timeouts in a HTTP Server implementation?

E.g. if I get a request and create a HTTP Connection to listen to requests with a separate Thread, should this thread use timeouts?

Currently I don't use Timeouts in Debug Code, only in Production code, as to find the lockups in the Server.

As long as you adheres the HTTP specification, I don't forsee problems.
