GPG status msgs for Passphrase
|
|
Im trying to decrypt using --batch --status-fd=1 and reading from the output, waiting for the NEED_PASSPHRASE msg. The problem is that this msg never appears until the pipe is closed or the passphrase is provided. In fact not even a single msgs is displayed until the passphrase is good or fails. It looks like the output hangs until the passphrase is provided, and so the output is flushed. This is really unconvenient since the goal of this status msgs is to be able to interact with GPG by reading its output msgs. any ideas on this? someone else having the same issue? im running GPG's portable version 1.4 on windows. thanks!
