when I manually test the two HTTP WordPress functions, they seem to work as expected? I quickly added a test widget to the WordPress dashboard to output the results of a remote get and post request and both return the results I would expect?

/**
 * Add a widget to the dashboard.
 *
 * This function is hooked into the 'wp_dashboard_setup' action below.
 */
function wpexplorer_add_dashboard_widgets() {
	wp_add_dashboard_widget(
		'wpexplorer_dashboard_widget', // Widget slug.
		'Test Functions', // Title.
		'wpexplorer_dashboard_widget_function' // Display function.
	);
}
add_action( 'wp_dashboard_setup', 'wpexplorer_add_dashboard_widgets' );

/**
 * Create the function to output the contents of your Dashboard Widget.
 */
function wpexplorer_dashboard_widget_function() {

  echo "<p>Testing wp_remote_get:<p>";
  $get_response = wp_remote_get( 'https://httpbin.org/get' );
  echo "<pre>" . $get_response ['body'] . "</pre>";

  echo "<p>Testing wp_remote_post:<p>";
  $post_response = wp_remote_post( 'https://httpbin.org/post' );
  echo "<pre>" . $post_response ['body'] . "</pre>";
  
}

I’ve deleted the transients using transient manager plugin and refreshed and appears to be working now…
