You /must/ mean documenting how those two are already implemented?
well, this is how they're implemented in SKS, which is the defacto
reference implementation, for sure. so yes, documenting this in the
only public spec of the HKP protocol would be good.
Casey Marshall is well along in his implementation, Hockeypuck, which if I
understood correctly, is implementing HKP with the behavior of SKS. He is
implementing the reconciliation process of SKS as well. He has implemented
them in Go.
X-HKP-Results-Count: number of matching keys
This header (i think you're implying that it is an HTTP response header)
doesn't seem to be used at all in GnuPG if i'm searching
git://git.gnupg.org/gnupg.git properly.
I know there are other HKP client implementations but (like sks on the
server side) gnupg is a sort of defacto reference implementation. If
it's not making use of this header, then it probably needs to be better
documented and patches pushed to gpg.
Yes, it's a HTTP header, returned since 1.1.2. See this thread for more
details about why it exists: [Sks-devel] SKS, Content-Length and HEAD requests
[https://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/sks-devel/2010-11/threads.html#00000 ]
This may be getting a bit SKS-centric for the OpenPGP list.
