RE: search filter with 'strange' characters?

[Karel B. <Kar...@cm...>]

After searching for a couple of hours, looking into ldif, asn1 and such =
I
completely forgot that in stead of not getting a result, I get a =
protocol
error!

No doubt that this has something to do with the binary meaning of the =
=E9 ....
but then still, what would be necessary to convert this character into
something else? I've got a feeling that I need to use Net::LDAP::LDIF
somewhere .... but it's unclear to me how I should do that..

regards,
Karel

Subject: search filter with 'strange' characters?



Hi,

I've installed perl-ldap and it works great! I'm using it to interface =
with
the ms-exchange global adress list.

But I do have I question that I cannot find an answer for on any =
website (so
far)
I have a search filter that searches on "sn=3DDunn=E9"=20

This guy's name has an =E9 in it... When I search for this I do not get =
a
result.=20
However if I search on a different field of this guy and look at what =
the sn
field is, it states "Dunn=C3=A9"

And when I use the regular ms outlook global adress list and look up =
this
guy it returns "Dunn=E9"

So my guess is that there are some charachter conversions somewhere? =
But
sofar I've been unable to find anything that could help.


Do any of you have experience on this?

Thnx,
Karel Bijl
