That's right - but I need to serve webpages as well - and using sks
as a real webserver is something beyond what sks is designed for. So
here problem is, I can't make sks listen to port 80 for web queries.
~ Until now, I let apache serve a form that send the query to sks
running at port 11371. There is no problem doing that - except that
if you are a user behind a firewall you can look at all webpages and
even fill out the form, but you never get any result because sks
server is unreachable.

So was the problem here - I needed to get keys form my server from a
intranet but I can't use my sks server via GnuPG since I can't
connect - and I can't use the web form for the same reason. So I
searched for a simple solution :-)

Perhaps someone else has similar problems - so I posted this (and
rememberd that there was a diskussion about this, but that needed to
patch sks to use relative urls).

Cheers,
Jan
