[Open-collaboration-services] [REQUEST] Extend API to support gpg signature

[Frank Karlitschek]

Hi Diego,

thats a great idea. We can add a signature extension to the API as you suggested,
Do you have a specification or a more detailed description how this system should work?

I can help you with a testserver as soon as we agree on the specification.


Cheers
Frank

However, to make it work correctly, I need the server to be extended in order to handle sending and receiving detached, ascii-armored, signatures. Besides, talking with Frederik, he wants this feature more general and not restricted to plasmoids-only, in order to give the user a level of trust about what he/she is going to download from the web. For these reasons, gpg signature support would a great improvement to the existing api.
