Hi Stefan,

your key seems to work fine over that WKD setup.

You don't need the "Advanced" method if the direct one already works.
They basically exist to provide flexibility for server admins to decide
whether they want to issue a TLS certificate for the whole domain
matching the e-mail address, or just serve the WKD stuff through a
dedicated "openpgpkey" subdomain.  The latter could be easier if the WKD
webserver should be isolated from other things on the domain.

In your setup, the valid TLS certificate for sac001.github.io is the
only one you'll get, so the "Direct" method fits perfectly.

Nice idea actually, but you'd have to check if GitHub actually allows
such use for "arbitrary" data distribution.

Good night.
André
