Full_Name: Version: OS: URL: ftp://ftp.openldap.org/incoming/ Submission from: (NULL) (96.228.233.77) RFC 2849 states: 2) Any non-empty line, including comment lines, in an LDIF file MAY be folded by inserting a line separator (SEP) and a SPACE. Folding MUST NOT occur before the first character of the line. In other words, folding a line into two lines, the first of which is empty, is not permitted. Any line that begins with a single space MUST be treated as a continuation of the previous (non-empty) line. When joining folded lines, exactly one space character at the beginning of each continued line must be discarded. Implementations SHOULD NOT fold lines in the middle of a multi-byte UTF-8 character. OpenLDAP (ldapsearch at least) has taken implemented that folding behavior for LDIF output. This causes trouble for anyone trying to use 'ldapsearch | grep <something>' for one simple example. Would you accept a patch to allow an option which disables line folding?
