A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories. Title : The Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) Intermediate Response Message Author(s) : R. Harrison, K. Zeilenga Filename : draft-rharrison-ldap-intermediate-resp-01.txt Pages : 9 Date : 2003-3-28 The Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) version 3 is a client-request/server-response based protocol. With the exception of the search operation, the entire response to an operation request is returned in a single LDAP message. While this single- request/single-response paradigm is sufficient for many operations (including all but one of those currently defined by LDAP), both intuition and practical experience validate the notion that it is insufficient for some operations. When multiple messages are sent in response to a single request, all but the last of these response messages are referred to as 'intermediate responses'. This document defines and describes the IntermediateResponse message, a general mechanism for defining single-request/multiple- response operations in LDAP. The IntermediateResponse message is defined in a way that maintains the protocol behavior of existing LDAP operations. This message is intended to be used in conjunction with the LDAP ExtendedRequest and ExtendedResponse to define new single-request/multiple-response operations or in conjunction with a control when extending existing LDAP operations in a way that requires them to return intermediate response information.

Internet-Drafts are also available by anonymous FTP. Login with the username "anonymous" and a password of your e-mail address. After logging in, type "cd internet-drafts" and then "get draft-rharrison-ldap-intermediate-resp-01.txt". A list of Internet-Drafts directories can be found in http://www.ietf.org/shadow.html or ftp://ftp.ietf.org/ietf/1shadow-sites.txt Internet-Drafts can also be obtained by e-mail. Send a message to: mailserv@ietf.org. In the body type: "FILE /internet-drafts/draft-rharrison-ldap-intermediate-resp-01.txt". NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE" command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with "multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on how to manipulate these messages. Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the Internet-Draft.
