What Hacker News says
2 sourcesHi,
I'm glad I found your comment, I just pushed something like what you just described to one of my repos yesterday. Hear me out, I'm not self promoting myself out of context here.
I'm currently working on an OpenPGP integration for the Roundcube webmail project and have so far added functionality from the OpenPGP.js library. The pros of this is of course usability and that no external applications are necessary, the cons are, amongst others, what you just wrote above.
To be able to support briding local GPG binaries and keyrings into graphical browsers without exposing any critical information I threw together an HTTPD which listens on the client's localhost. The concept is already proven to work, now it's a mere matter of implementation. It's based on the PyGPG library which wraps GPG into Python and is compatible with both Windows and

*NIX systems as long as they can execute GPG and Python (which they can).
It's still a work in progress but currently supports key generation and key listing in response to HTTP requests. Through cross-origin resource sharing users can specify which domains should be allowed to speak to it in a simple text file separated by line breaks.
I wrote up more detailed info on the approach and usage here: https://github.com/qnrq/rc_openpgpjs/issues/64#issuecomment-...
Source code currently available here, although it will be separated to its own repository later: https://github.com/qnrq/rc_openpgpjs/blob/pygpghttpd/pygpght...
I can conclude that what you are requesting is actively being built and partially already exists but still needs to be put to use. Hope you don't view this as shameless advertising, because it's not. I'm only responding because your ideas are spot on what I pushed yesterday.
Any form of feedback is greatly appreciated.
Much love!
