Just discovered keyservers are still totally crappy on this front.
Check this out when using a subkey ID to try to fetch a key; the
following is a request produced by GPGME gpgme_get_key() that returns
no matches (note that this is a subkey ID):
Subkey lookup, broken in first URL:
http://pgp.mit.edu:11371/pks/lookup?op=index&options=mr&search=0x22AD5874F39D989F&exact=on
vs.
http://pgp.mit.edu:11371/pks/lookup?op=index&options=mr&search=0xF39D989F&exact=on
Public key lookup, both work:
http://pgp.mit.edu:11371/pks/lookup?op=index&options=mr&search=0x6D1A9E70E19DAA50&exact=on
vs.
http://pgp.mit.edu:11371/pks/lookup?op=index&options=mr&search=0xE19DAA50&exact=on
This is totally unacceptable in my opinion, why do we have such broken
infrastructure that it cannot support a simple lookup like this?
