hkp is just http over port 11371.    hkp://<server.name.tld> is nothing more
than http://<server.name.tld>:11371 by definition.

Hmm, this should probably go to the sks-devel list. There is code in place for
checking for the mr option and implementing it. If it's not working, it's a SKS
issue. (request.ml & dbserver.ml,)

It may be specific to the SKS version. keyserver.stinkfoot.org is running 1.0.10
which is known to have at least one other issue.

Does the mr work if you try a 1.1.0 version (pgp.mit.edu, pgp.surfnet.nl) or
1.1.1 (keyserver.gingerbear.net, keyserver.kim-minh.com)
