A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
This draft is a work item of the LDAP Extension Working Group of the IETF.
Title : LDAP Extensions for Scrolling View Browsing
of Search Results
Author(s) : D. Boreham
Filename : draft-ietf-ldapext-ldapv3-vlv-00.txt
Pages : 8
Date : 03-Dec-97
This document describes a Virtual List View control extension for the
LDAP Search operation. This control is designed to allow the ''virtual
list box'' feature, common in existing commercial e-mail address book
applications, to be supported efficiently by LDAP servers. LDAP servers'
inability to support this client feature is a significant impediment to
LDAP replacing proprietary protocols in commercial e-mail systems.
The control allows a client to specify that the server return, for a
given LDAP search with associated sort keys, a contiguous subset of the
search result set. This subset is specified in terms of indices into the
ordered list, or in terms of a greater than or equal comparison value.

Send a message to: mailserv@ds.internic.net. In the body type:
"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-ietf-ldapext-ldapv3-vlv-00.txt".
NOTE: The mail server at ds.internic.net can return the document in
MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this
feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers
exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
how to manipulate these messages.
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
