https://popcon.ubuntu.com/ is broken, since it doesn't get my popcon results from 100+ machines. I can tell, since checking https://popcon.ubuntu.com/all-popcon-results.txt.gz shows 0 installations of cloudcompare. But I've got several users of it. It's all Ubuntu 18.04 LTS (amd64)

popularity-contest package from 18.04, only 20 submissions? it should be the most popular.
Release: 1.66ubuntu1 20

Howdy,

As noted in LP #1822672 this was broken in 1.66ubuntu1 with a somewhat undocumented change to the submission URL was changed from http to https, which the codebase doesn't handle (Just gpg encryption and using Tor)

All that needs done is to reset SUBMITURLS="http://popcon.ubuntu.com/popcon-submit.cgi" and everything will start working again. I've pinged Simon a few times about this, but so far Eoan is still affected.
