RetrievalMethod is supposed to specify a way to retrieve the sender's public key. However, it's unspecified what will be retrieved by dereferencing the URI in question. Now, if the URI is HTTP, then the data will of course be typed However, there is no standard list of MIME types for keying material. If the URI isn't HTTP (e.g. FTP) then the data may be untyped. I don't see that this feature is very useful unless the core spec provides some way of specifiying what the implementation should expect to retrieve. -EkrReceived on Thursday, 16 March 2000 11:16:30 GMT
