Your log is a bit confusing maybe you better use tcpflow
for dumping. But what is clearly seen is the GET request.
I wonder how this ever was supposed to work since 
XML-RPC requires an entidy body for the message (which is
in XML). You can compare with RFC2616 - there is no 
entidy body in GET. Your client needs to use POST.
I suspect then it should work.
