[Haskell-cafe] Re: ldap-haskell questions

Now that I look at what I did with ldap_set_option, I recall that s actually a little difficult to assign a type, since the third parameter is sometimes Int, Enum, TimeVal, String, and LDAP_OPT_* values overlap in a way that doesn't really say "enum" to me. So it's reasonably easy to do something, but harder to do it in a way that's generally useful.

I'm also unsure of the portability of the things I'd propose to add. I know only the OpenLDAP API, but something about LDAP_OPT_X_TLS hints that it may be non-standard.

I ended up binding ldap_initialize, which supports ldaps: URL-s, and was achievable in a 10 line absolutely nonintrusive patch (darcs sent). Good enough for me ATM. -- Best wishes, Feri.
