The request yields an empty/false value. I toyed with the underlying 
functions and it seems xmlrpc_decode is to blame here. If the xml is 
larger than 10 MB (Payload data like 8-9 MB) it breaks. I did not find 
any way to tweek the function's behavior.

request('xmlrpc', ...) works until like 10 MB
request('jsonrpc', ...) works until any practical limit.

I didn't check soap.
