Package: gnupg
Version: 1.0.6-2
Severity: normal
Watch me --
$ http_proxy=rubbish
$ gpg --keyserver wwwkeys.us.pgp.net --send-keys B1B82EE1
gpg: can't connect to `wwwkeys.us.pgp.net': No such file or directory
This error is a bit odd - the user starts thinking of what file could
be involved.
Suggestion: the error message should say "I tried to use rubbish but
did not get through to wwwkeys.us.pgp.net".
$ export http_proxy=
$ gpg --keyserver wwwkeys.us.pgp.net --send-keys B1B82EE1
gpg: invalid $http_proxy: bad URI
gpg: can't connect to `wwwkeys.us.pgp.net': Operation not permitted
I thought that in many contexts, setting http_proxy to nothing was
enough to persuade the program that no http proxy exists. For example,
with lynx, just saying "export http_proxy=" is enough to tell him to
not use any http proxy.
Suggestion: If strlen(http_proxy)==0 then you should not try to use it.
I discovered that I need to do this to make it work:
$ unset http_proxy
$ gpg --keyserver wwwkeys.us.pgp.net --send-keys B1B82EE1
gpg: success sending to `wwwkeys.us.pgp.net' (status=200)
Which is fine.
Thanks,
-ans.
