The basic network code from http.c is used for finger. This keeps the
network related code at one place and we are able to use the somewhat
matured code form http.c. Unfortunately I had to enhance the http
code for more robustness and probably introduced new bugs.
Test this code using
gpg --fetch-key finger:wk@g10code.com
(I might be the last user of finger ;-)
We better do this once and for all instead of cluttering all future
commits with diffs of trailing white spaces. In the majority of cases
blank or single lines are affected and thus this change won't disturb
a git blame too much. For future commits the pre-commit scripts
checks that this won't happen again.
