OK, I overlooked the statement.  Looking at the code, however, the "uri" 
parameter of the "replica" statement is arsed and the host is extracted, 
but no info about the protocol part is retained.  I guess that's why 
even "ldaps" appears not to work.  I think we need to decide whether to 
honor the protocol part (in that case "ldapi" shoudl work as well) or to 
discard the "uri" option.
