  • peculiar server behaviour

    From August Abolins@2:221/360 to All on Tue Jan 7 06:35:48 2020
    The servers don't seem to have a problem conducting a positive search
    with my last name, but I don't get success with my first name.

    Most of the servers just error-out when I use my fn. One server reported
    "Error 500 - keyword too short"

    But the same server has no problem with "tommi". Other servers find a
    match right away.

    Why the difference?

    I got a:

    "Error handling request. Exception raised." on http://keys.gnupg.net searching for "august". Maybe there are too many August's in their database?


    Bye, Wilfred.
