You want to know the mime type, not the server type. We already know  
that the server type is "soap".
Log $_SERVER['CONTENT_TYPE'] instead of $serverType.

Depends on how you configured logging in Horde. Usually  
/tmp/horde.log, but DEBUG messages are not logged by default, so check  
your config.

There are more things to set, see rpc.php.
