It pays to be bored on christmas whilst the wife is cooking up a storm
downstairs. Hmmmm... cheesecake & fudge. :)
So, being unwelcome in the kitchen, and liam asleep all snug in his bed, I
bring you the first cut at LDAP support for Emacs/W3. It only works in
XEmacs if you have it compiled with LDAP. But if you do it spits out
something like the attached HTML document for an LDAP query like:
ldap://ldap.itd.umich.edu/cn%3Dumbflabmanager%2C%20ou%3DUser%20Groups%2C%...
Please let me know how (if?) this works for anyone besides myself. I know
I should be squashing bugs, but I got tired. :)
This is only available via CVS right now, didn't want to make a pre37 with
just this in it.
cvs -d :pserver:anoncvs@anoncvs.gnu.org:/gd/gnu/anoncvsroot login
cvs -d :pserver:anoncvs@anoncvs.gnu.org:/gd/gnu/anoncvsroot checkout w3
There are hooks in place to map attribute names to pretty names ('c' ->
'Country') and also to munge up the values of an attribute ('mail' to a
real mailto: link, turning DNs (for owner, etc) into real LDAP
hyperlinks). Equivalent to what netscape can do.
Any feedback on the HTML output is welcomed as well. :)
