Is there a way to test/verify that Bing has received and is using the sitemaps submitted by xmlsitemap?

I use html verification files and admin/reports/dblog shows regular cron sitemap submissions with a 200 OK response from Bing.

But when I login to Bing and visit the sitemap page (Crawl -> Sitemaps) it does NOT show any submissions unless I add the url manually. I've verified this on several sites, so it seems possible auto-submissions just don't show up on this page.

So how can I verify Bing is getting my sitemap from Drupal?

(Google submissions do show up in webmaster tools.)

Thanks!

I seriously doubt that you will find any information in your Bing account when you anonymously submit a sitemap.xml file through the Bing interface. They are only going to give you that information if you allow them to pull then file instead of you pushing it.

You'll have to ask Bing for more information.
