 I tried to use this option because port 11371 used by keyservers is
not allowed by my proxy/firewall, so my only mean to retrieve/sign keys 
is using the email key server <pgp-public-keys@keys.pgp.net>.

--honor-http-proxy was of no use for me, is this option related to my 
problem ?

 I'm also forced to always use --lock-never.
 
Is it possible to use keyservers with http protocol ?

Computers are like air conditionners. They work better when you close windows.
