We had some debug code here which prevented it from working.
The host selection code still needs a review!
* ks-engine-http.c (ks_http_help): Do not print help for hkp.
* ks-engine-hkp.c (ks_hkp_help): Print help only for hkp.
(send_request): Remove test code.
(map_host): Use xtrymalloc.
* certcache.c (classify_pattern): Remove unused variable and make
explicit substring search work.

Since 2009-12-08 gpg was not able to find email addresses indicated
by a leading '<'. This happened when I merged the user id
classification code of gpgsm and gpg.
To better cope with round robin pooled A records like keys.gnupg.net
we need to keep some information on unresponsive hosts etc. What we
do now is to resolve the hostnames, remember them and select a random
one. If a host is dead it will be marked and a different one
selected. This is intended to solve the problem of long timeouts due
to unresponsive hosts.
The code is not yet finished but selection works.
The import test imports the keys as needed and because they are
passphrase protected we now need a pinentry script to convey the
passphrase to gpg-agent.
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 ;-)
Similar to gpg-agent, dirmngr's wait timeouts are now synced to the
full second. Increased ldap helper thread timeout to 2 seconds.
Nuked some white spaces.
