This plugin does not work when used in a headless Wordpress environment (CMS on one domain, site on another).
The submission API returns a 202 status code, but the submitted URLs never show up in Bing webmaster tools.

Research direction

Done means submitted URLs appear in Bing despite the split-domain configuration; the payload names no files or tests to inspect.
