This error was already fixed in FW_3 and HEAD a while ago. And it turned out this was a broken gnupg issue anyway.

hi, [Options->Mail->PGP] after the click on "ok", the messagebox with the info "...may take a long time to complete.Continiue with key generation" nothing happens. Only the page is reloaded. Have the same problem here during key generation,and there is a java script warning (see pgp_error.gif) at status-bar,even upgrade gpg from 1.2 to 1.4.3 ENV Horde: 3.0.10 +Imp: H3 (4.0.4) + gpg 1.2.1 It works fine here with Head version. On a testsystem we had version 4.0.2 installed and the creation of pgp-keys worked. Updating to version 4.0.4 causes the above described behaviour.

I just upgraded to gnupg-1.4.3, and PGP key generation is working again for me.

Do we fork off another process to do the key creation, or do we actually do it in PHP code? If we can get that to run in the background, we can reload the page every 5-10 seconds until the output is in the expected place.

Works for me. Takes a long time, but the page reloads and the keys are generated successfully (this was a 1024 bit key). However, I think the odds are very few computers, unless they are pretty darn powerful and have close to 0 load and have good random entropy generators, are going to be able to produce a 2048 bit PGP key in 30 seconds. Don't know if we can do some kind of page that uses javascript/meta refreshes to hit the server every 5 seconds or so and keep the PHP script alive. Or if we have to ditch key generation in general.

I can reproduce this, sort of. I get a result, though after a very long time. I guess you have max_execution_time set in Horde's configuration. But I don't get a key after the page has loaded either.

Can you try if it works with IMP 4.1-RC3? With IMP4.1 RC3 it only works with IE but during this operation the browser hangs up. With Firefox 1.5.0.1 it does nothing then hanging up. Keys should be saved to mysql-db. Hanging up means the used browser window does not react on clicks or something else. Only closing the window is a solution.
