"WebHook server response is invalid" when creating a new subscription

Using a sandbox app, PHP SDK. Trying to create a subscription, with the payload

Array
(
    [eventFilters] => Array
        (
            [0] => /restapi/v1.0/account/~/telephony/sessions
        )

    [deliveryMode] => Array
        (
            [transportType] => WebHook
            [address] => https://64979567.ngrok.io/index.php?m=integrations/webhooks&a=ringCentral
        )

    [expiresIn] => 630720000
)

This is what gets posted to my webhook address,

POST /index.php?m=integrations/webhooks&a=ringCentral HTTP/1.1
Validation-Token: d206fc96-ef23-4fe9-98c2-a087358446c7
Content-Type: application/json; charset=UTF-8

Content-Length: 0
Host: 64979567.ngrok.io
X-Forwarded-Proto: https
X-Forwarded-For: 192.209.29.132

This is what my webhook returns,

HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Cache-Control: no-store, no-cache, must-revalidate
Content-Type: application/json; charset=utf-8

Validation-Token: d206fc96-ef23-4fe9-98c2-a087358446c7

And what I get back from the API is "WebHook server response is invalid". I'm not sure what's missing, here.

1. Webhook URL is available on the Internet (via ngrok)

2. TLS/SSL enabled

3. response within 850 ms

4. Validation-Token header is present, value copied from that posted

Seems to be response time. It's just quick enough as reported by ngrok, but apparently just over 1000 ms by the time it gets out of the ngrok tunnel and back to RingCentral. I guess I'll work around it for devtest, it shouldn't be an issue in our faster production environment.

I got that response also when I was using some PHP web frameworks. But this quick start way works quite reliable.
