Test for recv_key() touches the network #99

Closed isislovecruft closed 9 years ago

It is annoying, slow, and prone to random failures. Also, bad practice. It should be refactored to not touch the network (as much as is possible).

I'm providing a temporary solution where the recv_keys test simply will not be run until it's fixed.

A better solution would be to have a mock keyserver listen on a local interface and respond with the key requested.
