Hi,

the feature/better-controlled-gnupg-connections branch (no ticket)
is a candidate for 0.19 => please review and merge into devel.

Steps to test the no-honor-keyserver-url option:

1. generate key pair
2. edit key -> keyserver hkp://example.com
3. gpg --refresh-keys -> output must not contain example.com

I've added "write a testcase" to my todo list, but I don't promise
anything yet.

    GnuPG: locate keys only from local keyrings.


    This is probably the default, but better safe than sorry.

    GnuPG: don't connect to the preferred keyserver specified by the key owner.


    This feature opens the door to a variety of subtle attacks.


Cheers,
