Communicating with Keyservers

["Tom Dowden" <tom dowden gmail com>]

Hi,

I have noticed that when getting a public key from a keyserver,
Seahorse does not request the data in a machine readable format, but
instead tries to parse the html output. This means that Seahorse is
only able to retrieve keys from keyservers that display their output
in a certain way.
Is there a reason for this?
