Hi,
I'm a new user of the GnuPG Smartcard, and everything is working
fine at my home :-)
Now, I have the problem at my working place to fetch the public
smartcard key from a webserver, because of the proxy settings at my
office.
So, i wonder if it possible to fetch a public smartcard key from the
harddisk/stick. e.g. set the url to "file://C:\smartkey.asc"
Or asking more generell, which protocolls are supported from "fetch"
method?
It depends on whether you have built your GnuPG with libcurl or not.
Libcurl is a URL-fetching library that GnuPG can use to, well, fetch
URLs. If you are using libcurl then yes, you can use 'file' URLs. If
your GnuPG was not built with libcurl, the you can only use the 'http'
method.
The easiest way to tell if you have libcurl support is to try doing:
gpg --fetch-keys file://C:\smartkey.asc
If it works, then you're all set. If it doesn't work, then you might
try building your GnuPG with libcurl support.
