I could be wrong of course (in > the future) (Me too Sauerkraut...) But you're missing the point. GitHub has no business whatsoever with e-mail. WKD is all about e-mail and you are probably among the first to use it for something unrelated to e-mail. So they don't give a Koffer about some e-mail-related protocol except for maybe implementing it (hopefully sometime) for their own employees / @github.com e-mail account users. > Even if there would be no github.io pages available I hope > that I showed here something interesting for the GnuPG > community. Interesting yes, to the community, yes. But not to the billion dollar company whose offer has nothing to do with e-mail. Not interesting in the sense of "we will invest time and money and risk breaking other users' setups by changing something in our infrastructure" because of some creative WKD use case. By the way, there might be other free web hosting providers you could use to serve a couple of bytes via HTTPS. It's very likely that they do not have the same issues with wildcard domains and invalid TLS certificates as github.io. Kind regards André -- Greetings... From: André Colomb <an...@colomb.de>
