Cannot add HKP key servers

[nueh]

Hello,

using version 1.8 I'm not able to add HKP key servers.

I either get a 404 error:
TCP_MISS/404 535 GET http://pgp.mit.edu/pks/lookup?

Or, adding the right port number directly to the host field, a 500 error:
TCP_MISS/500 370 GET http://pgp.mit.edu:11371/pks/lookup?

because the key server is, obviously, not able to find a key.
Error handling request: No keys found

Any idea?
Regards,
Niklas

Hi Niklas,

Yes, there is a bug with some HKS servers and we have fixed that issue in v1.9.  The LDAP works fine.  We are just wrapping up SecuMail v1.9 and will be submitting it very soon.  We're very sorry for the trouble.  Please note that you can email yourself the public & private keys to import or contact us if you need a solution faster.

Hi Adam,

thanks for your fast answer.
I imported most of the keys by mail and will wait for 1.9.

Hi Niklas,

Thanks for your understanding.  We are hoping that it will be out before next weekend.
