acastong added a comment to T1832: gpg --send-keys fails silently if keyserver unavailable.

To reproduce using version 2.0.26 (on Windows):

  1. Set your keyserver to something invalid (ie. put the following line in your

gpg.conf, without any other keyserver entries:

keyserver hkp://invalid.gnupg.net

  1. Try to retrieve the key 82058954 (from john doe) from the server: gpg --recv-keys 82058954

This should report that no key has been found. What it *should* report is that
there was a communication problem with the servier.

  1. Revert to a vali keyserver destination in your gpg.conf

keyserver hkp://keys.gnupg.net

  1. Perform the recv operation again, it should successfully load the key gpg --recv-keys 82058954
  1. Reset your server to an invali value and perform the following operation: gpg --send-keys 82058954

The application will with the message that it is sending the key to
invalid.gnupg.net, wnen in fact it is not
