Hello,

I originally posted this on the sks-devel mailing list, but after thinking 
about it, I believe this might be something I am doing wrong on the GnuPG 
side.:

I set up a keyserver at keyserver.myriapolis.net.

What I have done so far:

Installed sks (1.1.5) from wheezy-backports

SKS is behind a nginx reverse proxy using the instructions from: 
https://bitbucket.org/skskeyserver/sks-keyserver/wiki/Peering

I can access SKS on the web through:
https://keyserver.myriapolis.net:11371/
https://keyserver.myriapolis.net:443/
http://keyserver.myriapolis.net:80/

When I access the keyserver through:

gpg-connect-agent --verbose --dirmngr 'keyserver 
http://keyserver.myriapolis.net' 'ks_get 1e42b367' /bye things work.

WHen I try the following:

gpg-connect-agent --verbose --dirmngr 'keyserver 
https://keyserver.myriapolis.net' 'ks_get 1e42b367' /bye

gpg-connect-agent --verbose --dirmngr 'keyserver 
https://keyserver.myriapolis.net:11371' 'ks_get 1e42b367' /bye

gpg-connect-agent --verbose --dirmngr 'keyserver 
hkps://keyserver.myriapolis.net:11371' 'ks_get 1e42b367' /bye

I get the following error: ERR 1 General error <Unspecified source>

dirmngr.conf contains:

hkp-cacert /home/snassar/.gnupg/myriapolis.net.crt

Any pointers would be lovely.
