Simple Pingback Tool
It can be incredibly frustrating at times when WordPress acts up and doesn’t send out pingbacks properly.
This is a simple Windows batch file which uses cURL to manually send a pingback.
Usage:
pingback [Source URL] [Target URL] [Pingback URL]
The Source URL is the absolute URI of the post on the source page containing the link to the target site.
The Target URL is the absolute URI of the target of the link, as given on the source page.
The Pingback URL is the absolute URI of the pingback XML-RPC server.
For example:
pingback http://armchairtheorist.com/some-blog-post/ http://someotherblog.com/some-other-blog-post/ http://someotherblog.com/xmlrpc.php
The tool will then output the XML-RPC response as per specified in the Pingback specifications so you will know whether your pingback attempt was successful or not.

This package includes the Windows version of cURL 7.18.0 with SSL support.
