(this is on a standard WSL system, but the bug is present in stock
Debian popcon-upload) and using popcon-upload’s -d option:

For completeness in case derivatives’ users stumble upon this:
tglase@DESKTOP-PN6OO9E:~ $ tail -1 /etc/popularity-contest.conf
SUBMITURLS=http://popcon.ubuntu.com/popcon-submit.cgi
This makes it succeed as that submit host seems to accept http.
