I have a test application running at test.rsscloud.io on ports 80 and 9876.
The following code works:
curl --location --request POST 'https://brokenriverbooks.com/?rsscloud=notify' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded' \
--data-urlencode 'domain=test.rsscloud.io' \
--data-urlencode 'port=80' \
--data-urlencode 'path=/feedupdated-s8759' \
--data-urlencode 'registerProcedure=' \
--data-urlencode 'protocol=http-post' \
--data-urlencode 'url1=https://brokenriverbooks.com/feed/'
However if you change the port to 9876 it fails. For some reason the rssCloud plugin seems unable to hit ports that are not 80.
It sounds like things are working now, at least with WordPress.com feeds.
The RSS Cloud plugin itself does still need to be updated. I'll get an update for that out this week.
