Hi,

I am reporting what I believe to be a bug in the translucent overlay proxy. It appears that two contiguous non-escaped spaces in the middle of a DN will get sent to the remote server as a single space. For example, if I have the following record being dumped from the local database using slapcat:

dn: cn=foo\2C bar [BSD] - HGD,ou=general accounts,ou=accounts,ou=hgd,dc=somedomain,dc=uchicago,dc=edu gidNumber: 339792922 uidNumber:3939798516 homeDirectory: /home/fbar sAMAccountName: fbar objectClass: person

There are two spaces between bar and [BSD]. If I query LDAP for uidNumber (via translucent local), the search DN that is passed to the remote server only has one space in it. Based on my understanding it is acceptable to have any number of spaces in a DN without escaping them (as long as they are not the first or the last characters in the field). I verified that only a single space is being sent to the remote server by doing a packet capture and looking at the actual LDAP query being sent.

If it would help to provide configuration, additional logs, or a packet capture please advise and I can provide this.

I believe my overlay proxy works fine otherwise.
