As of curl-7.21.1 tunnelling ldap queries through HTTP Proxies is not
supported. Actually if --proxytunnel command-line option (or equivalent
CURLOPT_HTTPPROXYTUNNEL) is used for ldap queries like
ldap://ldap.my.server.com/... You are unable to successfully execute the
query. In facts ldap_*_bind is executed directly against the ldap server
and proxy is totally ignored. This is true for both openLDAP and
Microsoft LDAP API.
Step to reproduce the error:
Just launch "curl --proxytunnel --proxy 192.168.1.1:8080
ldap://ldap.my.server.com/dc=... "
This fix adds an invocation to Curl_proxyCONNECT against the provided
proxy address and on successful "CONNECT" it tunnels ldap query to the
final ldap server through the HTTP proxy. As far as I know Microsoft
LDAP APIs don't permit tunnelling in any way so the patch provided is
for OpenLDAP only. The patch has been developed against OpenLDAP 2.4.23
and has been tested with Microsoft ISA Server 2006 and works properly
with basic, digest and NTLM authentication.
makes the LDAP code much cleaner, nicer and in general being a
better libcurl citizen. If a new enough OpenLDAP version is
detect, the new and shiny lib/openldap.c code is then used
instead of the old cruft
