<p>Using a plain old HKP server works fine.</p>
<p>The gnupg and gnupg2 macports both support HKPS. It would be
nice if this support was included in GPGTools. I thought it was
supported previously...</p></div>Carl Harristag:gpgtools.tenderapp.com,2011-11-04:Comment/175854802014-11-25T11:43:52Z2014-11-25T11:43:52Zsupport for HKPS protocol?<div><p>Hi Carl,</p>
<p>we are currently working on this. hkps support should already be
working. But there's still some work to be done.</p>
<p>We'll let you know once this is fully implemented.</p>
<p>All the best,<br>
