Norbert Reilly commented on DIRSERVER-604:
------------------------------------------
I have a new patch but can't remove the existing attachments (all should be
removed and replaced with single latest patch).
I found my fix worked fine for binary attributes to be stored in the Attribute
object as a byte[], but my particular interest was in a string field.
Hence the new patch includes support for an extension of the rfc2849 support
to handle a) specifying the value read from the URL should be treated as a
String and b) if so, then specifying what its encoding is. For example the
following are all valid (contents of attached test .ldif file):
# attribute is stored as byte[]
httpurl:< http://isis/public/hopno02/jx.txt
# attribute is stored as byte[]
fileurl:<
file:///D:/src/ad/shared/ldap/src/test/resources/test_ldif_inclusion.txt
# attribute is stored as UTF8 encoded String
strfileurl:<
string_encoding=UTF8;file:///D:/src/ad/shared/ldap/src/test/resources/test_ldif_inclusion.txt
where the "string_encoding=<encoding>;" bit is not part of the RFC. I can't see
anywhere in the RFC where this sort of issue is dealt with. Access to the
schema for each attribute would help in knowing what the directory view of it
is, but still won't address the issue of the encoding for the file being read.
Any guidance welcomed...
