Subject: JLDAP: LDIFReader should use UTF-8 character set instead of US-ASCII

Full_Name: 
Version: 
OS: 
URL: ftp://ftp.openldap.org/incoming/
Submission from: (NULL) (81.240.252.176)


The JLDAP com.novell.ldap.LDIFWriter class uses the UTF-8 character set when
writing LDIF content to output streams. However, the com.novell.ldap.LDIFReader
class uses the US-ASCII character set to read LDIF content from input streams.
The LDIFReader class should also use UTF-8, so LDIF files containing special
characters can be read successfully.
