Hi!

BTW, there is an easy way to check whether a domain supports WKD:

$ gpg-wks-client supported --with-colons mailbox.org kernel.org
mailbox.org:1:0::0:0:0:
kernel.org:1:1::0:0:0:
           ^ ^
           ! !- Supports Web Key Service (upload via mail challenge)
           !--- Supports Web Key Directory (just lookup) 


Without --with-colons there is only human readable output (with -v) and
an exit status telling whether Web Key _Service_ is supported.

Older versions may not support "supported" but require the now optional
two leading dashes ("--supported")


Shalom-Salam,

   Werner
