Just remembered this - maybe SKS' internal default value should be increased?
Br, Peter -------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Sks-devel] HKP Timeout Datum: Tue, 13 Jun 2006 17:00:23 +0200 Von: Peter Pramberger <[email protected]> An: [email protected] Hi all! I recently got a complaint from a user not able to download certain large PGP keys. It turned out that he has a slow Internet connection (56k modem) and always got a 408 error ("Timed out after 60 seconds") from SKS for at least the following keys: 0x94C09C7F 0x74E0B766 0x248AEB73 0x307D56ED This keys are quite large, eg. 0x94C09C7F has about 450KB thus exceeding the default HKP timeout of 60s on slow connections. Increasing the timeout value to 180s solved the problem (this way it should even work with 28.8 links). I'd suggest that all operators set "wserver_timeout: 180" in sksconf to remove this limitation. Any thoughts? Peter
