At the public library, I get the following: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/Desktop/mediwiki$ gpg --keyserver pgpkeys.mit.edu --recv-key 4D70938E gpg: requesting key 4D70938E from hkp server pgpkeys.mit.edu gpgkeys: HTTP fetch error 7: couldn't connect to host gpg: no valid OpenPGP data found. gpg: Total number processed: 0
Yet, the host is pingable: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/Desktop/mediwiki$ ping -c 1 pgpkeys.mit.edu PING CRYPTONOMICON.mit.edu (18.92.0.144) 56(84) bytes of data. 64 bytes from CRYPTONOMICON.MIT.EDU (18.92.0.144): icmp_seq=1 ttl=240 time=83.6 ms --- CRYPTONOMICON.mit.edu ping statistics --- 1 packets transmitted, 1 received, 0% packet loss, time 0ms rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 83.667/83.667/83.667/0.000 ms What is going on here? Is http access to pgpkeys.mit.edu blocked by the library? Does gpg use a weird port? Did I do something stupid? Does this work at home?
