It seems there's two interesting problems which inter-relate.
The first is PGP corporation's "global directory", which seems to
operate orthogonally from every other keyserver I've seen. It's
HTTP-only, not queryable by any of the open-source clients (in fact, it
doesn't support wildcard searches at all, and returns a captcha before
delivering results), and not SUBMITTABLE to from any of the open source
clients.
Not exactly. The GD speaks LDAP, so you can set your keyserver to
ldap://keyserver.pgp.com and you can query and submit, etc.
Interesting, I didn't see mention of that. I must try this (assuming I've
built with LDAP support, that is, which under BSD is a bit obtuse).
It's also the ONLY keyserver I've seen that supports photo IDs, and actually
uses the web interface to show you the person.
The SKS servers (i.e. pretty much everything that isn't the GD) do
support photo IDs, but they do not use the web interface to show you the
photo.
That was what I meant to imply, perhaps I was unclear.
Are you sure about that? "clean" strips off useless signatures (useless
being defined as an invalid signature, a superseded signature, a revoked
signature, and a signature from a key that isn't present on the
keyring). Signatures from keys that are present, but have no trust
value are not stripped off.
Let me double check. I saw it earlier today when transferring my work sig
to my personal one. But it might just have been that my coworkers did not
have sigs present. It's entirely possible I mangled the windows.
