can't import key through stdin

Post #1 of 4 (971 views)

My problem: gpg is unable to import keys from stdin:

~$cat test.txt | gpg --import
gpg: Total number processed: 0

It works fine when given a filename:

~$gpg --import test.txt
gpg: key 88C1BFB7: public key imported
gpg: Total number processed: 1
gpg: imported: 1

but since this script will be used in a CGI environment,
I really rather not have to write a temp file.

Anyone run into this, or hopefully run into it and solve it?

Thanks in advance:

Which version of gpg you are using? Im using 1.0.1 and it doesn't work
too. But it works with version 1.0.0:

[tb@ricola /tmp]> pgpk -xa 0xEAE18755 | /usr/local/gpg-1.0.0/bin/gpg --import
| gpg: key EAE18755: not changed
| gpg: Total number processed: 1
| gpg: unchanged: 1
[tb@ricola /tmp]> pgpk -xa 0xEAE18755 | /usr/local/gpg-1.0.1/bin/gpg --import
| gpg: Total number processed: 0
[tb@ricola /tmp]> /usr/local/gpg-1.0.0/bin/gpg --version

You are right. As a temporary solution use

cat foo | gpg --import -

You can always use a dahs as the input file name to denote stdin.
This is handled a littel bit different but in the case of --import it
doesn't matter.
