Now, with 5.5, we have an ldap server, which will make things a lot easier.
We support the old HTTP one, but the ldap one is the way to go.

So where is the document describing this and where does it sit within
the ietf-open-pgp framework. Does this exist ? Will the group accept
submissions from third parties who already have been storing PGP keys in
LDAP already, or is this not going to be part of open-pgp ? What is the
format by which 5.5 does the LDAP queries ?
Sorry to drop in, but I had some problems with most HTTP based client software.
It manifests in the ommission of the "Host:" request parameter line, which is
needed by multi-homed servers (like say Apache) to properly detect to which of
its served hosts the request was directed.
Is the HTTP based lookup of keys adhering to this?

constraints and found this - naturally - this morning)
