pool.sks-keyservers.net is only intended to be active on port 11371
(i.e non-SSL/TLS connections). This will almost certainly fail or a
HKPS request (defaulting on port 443). As Pete Stephenson pointed out
in a recent email, the pool setup require the pool CA to be used,
rather than the certificate of individual members as described on [0].
Servers viable for the HKPS pool are flagged as such on [1]. Several
of these depend on SNI, so the hkps.pool.sks-keyservers.net hostname
has to be used together with the provided CA cert.
Also note that there is no requirement or any of the servers to offer
a human-readable web interface, and as such no checking is performed
as to how a possible such page is formed. This is a probably reason
for you reporting getting data back on a non-encrypted channel, if.e.g
you are met with a hard-coded <form action> on such a HTML template.
The pool is configured to work with direct client HKP[2] requests and
I'm not aware of any issues with this.
