Hi,

there is a new online checker by Freddie Leeman

  https://webkeydirectory.com

The source code is not public and in a test I've found out that
the SHOULD content-type is indicated in red, but I've also learned
that my policy file had a defect. So it is useful. :)

As long as your email address is public anyway... happy checking! 

@Werner,

the checker also recommends to set
  The Access-Control-Allow-Origin: * header is needed to allow OpenPGP clients 
  to fetch the policy from a different domain, bypassing CORS restrictions.

sounds like a good idea to me, to support clients running as webpage.
Shouldn't this be added to the WKD specification?

(I've suggested it already in Message-Id: 
<201806051641.34344.bernhard at intevation.de> I believe). :)

Best,
Bernhard
