RE: LDAP access through HTTP-CONNECT

["Harsha Reddy" <harsha@qualitysoft.com>]

Hi Michael,

We used the package from http://www.htthost.com/ to 
tunnel LDAP via HTTP.

It has nothing to do with LDAP.  
HTTPort tunnels any TCP/IP traffic.

Try  it out.  You can get a free eval copy. Fairly easy to use.

HI!

Sometimes it's handy for a LDAP client to access a LDAP server
through a firewall's HTTP proxy. This can be achieved by piping a
TCP connection through a channel provided by the HTTP proxy. This
pipe is requested with HTTP-CONNECT method.

Is or will this be possible with OpenLDAP 2 libs? Any other LDAP
libs capable of this?

Ciao, Michael.
