I successfully tested HKPS, but encountered a lack of documentation. So here a
short howto specifically for the zimmermann.mayfirst.org keyserver:

Download the 'May First/People Link CA' certificate from
<https://support.mayfirst.org/wiki/mfpl_certificate_authority> and store it in
~/.gnupg/ca.crt.

Add the following two lines to your gpg.conf (or add them to the commandline):
  keyserver hkps://zimmermann.mayfirst.org
  keyserver-options ca-cert-file ~/.gnupg/ca.crt

Test the keyserver with a '--search-keys' or '--recv-keys'.

Note: The ca-cert-file option is not documented?

Regards,
