Florian Kimmann commented on DIRAPI-369:
----------------------------------------
I think strings should always be escaped instead of getting base64 encoded.
Otherwise you cannot tell if a value is a plain string or base64 encoded.
"SVEN" and "w4RyenRl" both are valid base64 values.
Is this something that would get merged if I make a pull request to include
proper xml escaping?

> Project: Directory Client API
> Issue Type: Bug
> Reporter: Florian Kimmann
> Priority: Major
>
> Why does the method needsBase64Encoding in the dsml ParserUtils check for
> LDIF safety?
> DSML doesnt have to be LDIF safe? We get Base64 encoded strings in our
> application all the time, because of common german characters like äöüß etc.
> XML can handle those characters. Or am I overlooking something?
