Re: PGP-keyserver on port 80

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----

Hi Folks,

as far as I understand, Dirk is looking for somebody who is already offering
direct (i.e. URI x-hkp://keyserver.example.net:80 to put into the PGP/GPG
config files) (public) pgp-keyserver services on port 80 because he is
behind a firewall that is blocking the standard hkp port and sees no chance
to drill another hole into the firewall.

I only know of the webform frontend run by Jason Harris on 

http://keyserver.kjsl.com/~jharris/skylane/pks-commands.php

but that is not suitable to acces it directly from PGP/GPG clients due to
its non hkp-conform start of the URI 

http://keyserver.kjsl.com/~jharris/skylane/pks-commands.php?docmd=lookup&op=vindex&search=karlsen&fingerprint=on

in comparison to

http://blackhole.pca.dfn.de:11371/pks/lookup?op=vindex&fingerprint=on&search=karlsen

And if there would be only one such service available, fallback redundancy
is just not given. But that is a completly different kettle of fish.

Enjoy the weekend and take care

Reimer
