Re: a question regarding qdstring defn in RFC 2252
RFC 2252 section 4.3:
In encodings where an arbitrary string, not a Distinguished Name, is
used as part of a larger production, and other than as part of a
Distinguished Name, a backslash quoting mechanism is used to escape
the following separator symbol character (such as "'", "$" or "#") if
it should occur in that string. The backslash is followed by a pair
of hexadecimal digits representing the next character. A backslash
itself in the string which forms part of a larger syntax is always
transmitted as '\5C' or '\5c'. An example is given in section 6.27.
