Comment:

 I think switching to SERVER_METHOD is probably a bit better here. `$_POST`
 is fine when we want to be naïve, but this case shows we need to expect
 that people will sometimes use raw POST data. php://input isn't re-
 readable until PHP 5.6 and that's overkill anyway. If we're receiving POST
 data, then it has to be a POST method. (The reverse isn't true: you can
 still receive query variables that get parsed into `$_GET` in a POST
 request.)

 Checking XMLRPC_REQUEST is fine, but we should probably do a direct method
 check instead.
