Not quite, I have one more concern: if * and \2a have the same meaning, how do I specify a litteral * (that is * not being a wildcard)?
You need to read RFC 4515. It even has an *example* about matching literal '*' characters!
This is what I initially understood: * and \2a do not have the same meaning. But the example does not tell everything: if I understand correctly the whole thing (escape + %-encoding), If I want to match a litteral * I should use %5c2a
Is that correct?
