HKP uses port 11371, so if that was blocked, it won't work. But hkps uses port 443 just as https, so that will always work. Just make sure you choose a hkps-capable keyserver or pool and you should be ok (except that GnuPG nowadays also needs to do DNS lookups, but it's uncommon for those to be blocked).

Why?
gpg --recv-keysshould also do it, right? Well, I was in a network where everything but HTTP/S was blocked. Boo.Remarks: Don't use the plain HTTP version of course. Just don't. It was a stupid mistake to put it here in the first place. Anyway, read before usage. If you want to use a different keyserver, just swap it out, make it a variable, whatever. You might need to adjust head/tail to filter out a different number of lines of HTML. :)
