Description

RFC 2849 states that an attribute value may be folded.

LdifParserImpl class does not accept it :

try {
LdifParserImpl p = new LdifParserImpl();

LdifEntry entry = p.parse("attr: this is a\n test");
} catch (Exception e) {
System.out.println(e.getMessage());
}

throws a LdapNamingException :
org.apache.ldap.common.exception.LdapNamingException: Line 0 [ test] does not correspond to an LDIF entry attribute value pair.
{attr: this is a
 test}

Let's fix this immediately in 0.8.1. Will merge back into trunk.

This was fixed a long time ago as can be seen by the contents of the following test case which seems to pass.

http://svn.apache.org/viewcvs.cgi/directory/shared/ldap/trunk/common/src/test/org/apache/ldap/common/ldif/LdifParserImplTest.java?rev=219580&view=markup

I must have added this test case an not closed this issue.

Fixed with the rewrote of LdifParser
