I've tested with 389 - extops work fine - dereference control (per entry
return control) works fine.
About the arguments and return values to result4 - with the current code
I have to do something like this:
rtype, rdata, rmsgid, decoded_serverctrls, extop_rspoid,
extop_rspval = srv.result4(msgid, 0, -1, 1)
That is, I only want the decoded_serverctrls, but I have to add items
for extop_rspoid and extop_rspval even though I don't want them, because
result4 always returns a 6-tuple, regardless of what the caller wants.
Maybe this is the convention, to have to provide all of the optional
return values, to make it consistent that result4 always returns a
6-tuple? Because it would be pretty easy for result4 to look at its
arguments and do something like:
if add_extop:
return a 6-tuple
else:
return a 4-tuple
