Description Neil Williams 2005-02-23 20:35:52 UTC

Version:           1.2 (using KDE 3.3.2,  (3.1))
Compiler:          gcc version 3.3.5 (Debian 1:3.3.5-8)
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.4.25-1-686

Sometimes it's better to view a key with lots of unknown signatures using a keyserver WWW interface, rather than importing perhaps 100 unnecessary keys.
Currently, the route is to view the key properties, copy the last two blocks of the fingerprint, paste those into the keyserver query input, remove the space and add the '0x' at the start.
Would it be possible to do this via a context menu?
"View this key on keyserver"

Alternatively, how about a link from the context menu direct to BigLumber, using the whole fingerprint? The URL for that would be:
http://www.biglumber.com/x/web?sf=4CD46644C10548EDCA28EC368801094A28BCB3E3;sid=28BCB3E3
for my own key. In general:
http://www.biglumber.com/x/web?sf=<fingerprint>;sid=<keyid>

Allow to open a URL from a keys context menu to show additional information

This currently lacks a configuration UI.
