[PATCH] Feature request: enable --show-session-key on a truncated encrypted file
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

A few months ago I posted this to the gnupg-users mailing list:

http://marc.info/?l=gnupg-users&m=131116494408473&w=2

Basically, I would like --show-session-key to still print out the session key,
even if the file being read is truncated (and thus checksums fail). It just
requires changing the order of operations in that case. I've uploaded an
updated patch (nothing changed since the patch against 2.0.17--including, this
might still not be The Right Way To Do It).

Version
2.0.22

Event Timeline

Still have this issue. Here is an updated patch against 2.0.19. Please
consider including it, or provide some feedback if this is a bad idea / should
be done a different way.

Marking this as a bug since it restores useful functionality that was lost.

Still have this issue.

The patch against 2.0.19 applies to 2.0.22, bumping the version.

I will try again on both mailing lists, as well.
