After lots of experiments, I came up with the following test command based on the cloud element content of the RSSCloud test site feed:
curl –data “port=80” –data “path=/?rsscloud=notify” –data “protocol=’http-post'” –data “url1=http://rsscloud.andysylvester.com/feed/” http://rsscloud.andysylvester.com/?rsscloud=notify > test.txt
The resulting text file content (test.txt) was as follows:
<?xml version=’1.0′?>
<notifyResult success=’false’ msg=’Only http-post notifications are supported at this time.’ />
I had tried using “https” in the fields in the test command, but got the same response text as before. I think my next step is to look at the RSSCloud WordPress plugin.
