No luck although I even tried broken-http-proxy.
It's always:
gpg: requesting key 89074FAD from http server keyserver.pramberger.at
[or whatever keyserver I try]
gpgkeys: http fetch error 7: couldn't connect: No error
gpg: no valid OpenPGP data found.
gpg: Total number processed: 0

Normal http requests (wget etc.) work through this proxy.

Best wishes
Michael
