Thanks for your work on this - sounds great! I'm unfortunately too busy at the moment to give it a try - but I think this is a good step forward!

It would be nice if someone could give it a try as I would like to claim the bounty.

Specifically what spec is this implementing to parse the id/ values? (I realize you gave example names, including mine, but this isn't really a substitute for a spec.)

Well, frankly that spec is horrifyingly complex and has features for which I can think of no legitimate applications, so I certainly hope you didn't implement that entire spec. What I was asking was specifically which features from that spec you implemented. I.e. what fields does it check, etc.

It's also worth reminding everyone that that spec is pending revision.

No no, this is really simple. It just takes the 'gpg/fpr' field or if that is missing the 'fpr' field directly. Updated OP to include this.

At the bottom of the file there are some tests included that you can run with an instance active already.

Is there a Git repo available for this, or a download link that supports TLS? Would make it easier to test.
