Splunk Cloud - HTTP Event Collector Not Working

We are using the latest version of Splunk Cloud.  I have configured HTTP Event Collection (HEC) token under "Settings" in the UI.  It is also worth noting that we are using SSO for user authentication.

I have attempted (numerous times) and failed to get a connection using curl (leveraging the information contained in this article: https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/SplunkCloud/latest/Data/HTTPEventCollectortokenmanagement).

All I get is "Failed to connect...".

I am wondering if there is something unique I need to do for Splunk Cloud, something unique with SSO, or if I can even send directly to Splunk Cloud (does the connection have to originate from a forwarder for  example).

Any advice is appreciated.
