[Sks-devel] HTTP reverse proxy failures at pgp.mit.edu

[Daniel Kahn Gillmor]

Hey all--

If you look at
https://pgp.mit.edu/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0xF2AD85AC1E42B367

it appears that there's some sort of proxy failure.

the end of it looks like:

I don't know what kind of reverse proxy is in place here, or why it's
behaving in this way, but it doesn't seem like this is a healthy
keyserver (at least for larger keys like this one).

Any thoughts on how we should check for or fix this kind of failure ?
should we pull pgp.mit.edu from the pool until it's resolved?
