ARB transaction and Silent Post on testing

I've searching all around this forum and documentation to find out a functional procedure on testing Silent Post sent by individual transaction generated by ARB subscription.

 

I am developing an website where users can subscribe for one of three subscription plans.

I am using ARB API from Authorize.net: so far all good.

The problems appear when I want to let users to change their subscription plan on site.
As I understand Authorize.net APIs, the ARB subscription can not be updated with interval unit and length ("The subscription interval information (subscription.paymentSchedule.interval.length and subscription.paymentSchedule.interval.unit) may not be updated.").

 

So in order to let my users to change their plan (subscription), I planned to cancel current ARB subscription and create new ARB subscription but with the start date  equal to the end date of current interval (eg, if subscription is monthly and the plan is changed in the middle of month, than the end date of current month will be the start for new plan user has selected;

 

But not this is the issue.

The main issue and reason of this post is the way I can check subscription status and transactions using APIs.

After searching the documentation and the community forum, I know that via API my application can check only ARB subscription status but  application can not check transactions status.
Also, I know that there is sent a Silent Post and my application can handle the post, providing an accessible URL.

But here comes the problem: I provided the URL and set up as indicated and via Virtual Terminal I entered a transaction with real credit card. BUT no Silent Post encountered.

 

The URL provided had been tested with a mockup form as community suggests.

My question is this

 

How can I test Silent Post on sandbox.authorize.net (developer) or even live, such way I can relay 100% on Silent Post?

As I mentioned, I had test by entering a transaction on account.authorize.net (live), so real server with real card, but with no result. So, how we can test Silent Post? How we can access via API transactions?

 

Thanks,
