When your dealing with LDAP, you have to first deal
with BER (basic encoding rules -- a subset of ASN.1 --
abstract syntax notation, spec 1). This is a binary
TLV (Type Length Value) encoding scheme for sending
"self describing" objects around the network. The
implementation details are a little hairy, but one of
the motivations for expanding support for manipulating
the binary! datatype in REBOL was in consideration of
things like BER.
If you create a BER.r script (which should only take as
long as it takes to understand BER, and maybe a day or
so to implement it) then it will also help someone to
create SNMP which also uses BER.
Another way to do it: REBOL/command can import an API
implemented in a shared library, such as Netscape's
LDAP sdk.
