Description

Why does the method  needsBase64Encoding in the dsml ParserUtils check for LDIF safety?

DSML doesnt have to be LDIF safe? We get Base64 encoded strings in our application all the time, because of  common german characters like äöüß etc.

XML can handle those characters. Or am I overlooking something?
