FEATURE: HKPS and Machine readable format
Hi- this is my first contribution to a gnome project. I wanted to search some keys from hkp key-servers and I was surprised that no TLS is supported. I found some 10 year old tickets and decided to implement it. On the way I also discovered that seahorse does html parsing, which was partially broken for me. Also replaced it with the machine readable format.
- HKPS Support: partial, only the hkps part #47
- Use the machine readable format to parse hks requests: fixes #135 (closed)
Spec: https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-shaw-openpgp-hkp-00#section-5.2
remarks:
- Adding of HKP/HKPS Servers is broken due #262 (closed) - workaround, add hkps server manually via dconf
- Some Keyservers deliver Keys without an User Identity (privacy reasons, ex.
keys.openpgp.org
).- Key is only displayed in Seahorse when also a uid is available due seahorse wants user information.
- HKP Keyserver do not deliver Subkey Information via Machine Readable Format.
