Kurt,
I'll soon (tonight?) commit a more complete version
of ldap_str2dn/dn2str; I also re-coded (under conditional
compiling) the ldap_dn2ufn, ldap_dn2dcedn, dlap_dcedn2dn,
ldap_explode_dn (I also added a non-standard ldap_explode_rdn
and a ldap_dn2ad_canonical).
I made conditionally compilable the (bare-bone) utf-8 support,
that is, you can use ldap_utf_* routines to parse strings, or
simply look at bytes, turning '\' + 'HEXPAIR' into its byte
equivalent, and, on the converse, turning everything that is not
printable ( (c) >= '' && (c) <= '~' ) into '\' + 'HEXPAIR';
perhaps a better alternativeis to encode everything that matches
( (c) & 0x80 ) != 0x00 ).
The big part that is missing, I guess, is converting strings
into ber-encoded binary when a non-printable string
(that can exploit case by case '\' + 'HEXPAIR' encoding
in LDAPv3) must be represented in LDAPv2; I guess I'd better
do the same for DCE/AD, even though I'm not sure they understand
'#' + 'HEX'. Finally, what about UFN? We might understand it
as implicitly accepting utf-8 ('\' + 'HEXPAIR') or restrict
it to printable, reverting to '#' + 'HEX' in other cases.
Pierangelo.
