Stefan Seelmann commented on DIRSTUDIO-356:
-------------------------------------------

Added a first implementation here:
  http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?rev=688867&view=rev

I have the following problem, not sure if this must be handled in my code or if 
there are encoding issues in the LdapURL class or if an LDAP URL doesn't 
support non-ASCII characters. When my connection name has non-ASCII characters 
(e.g. Ä alias %C4 (ULR encoded) alias C384 (UTF-8 encoded))  then the extension 
part of the resulting URL string contains these non-ASCII characters. When 
parsing this string back to an LdapURL it just contains an '?'. Has anyone an 
hint how to handle it?

Here is some test code:

    public void testNonAscii() throws Exception
    {
        String A_uml = new String( new byte[] { (byte)0xC3, (byte)0x84 }, 
"UTF-8" );
        
        LdapURL url1 = new LdapURL();
        url1.setHost( "localhost" );
        url1.setPort( 389 );
        url1.setDn( LdapDN.EMPTY_LDAPDN );
        url1.getExtensions().put( "X-CONNECTION-NAME", A_uml );
        System.out.println(url1.toString());
        System.out.println(url1.getExtensions());
        
        LdapURL url2 = new 
LdapURL("ldap://localhost:389/????X-CONNECTION-NAME="; + A_uml);
        System.out.println(url2.toString());
        System.out.println(url2.getExtensions());
        
        LdapURL url3 = new 
LdapURL("ldap://localhost:389/????X-CONNECTION-NAME=%C4";);
        System.out.println(url3.toString());
        System.out.println(url3.getExtensions());
    }

> It would be very interesting to be able to get the connection configuration 
> as an URL you can copy and paste so that it makes it easy to share a 
> connection config with omeone else simply by pasting the URL in a 
> mail/IM/whatever.
> For instance, 
> LDAP://<connection-name>@<ldap server 
> host>:<port>/security=TLS?bindDN=uid=admin,ou=system?...(other parameters)
> The URL syntax has to be defined, of course
