Just in case folks haven't seen it, there's a proposal for a ldap: URL
scheme.

A Revised Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts
directories. This draft is a work item of the Access, Searching and
Indexing of Directories Working Group of the IETF.

Title : An LDAP URL Format
Author(s) : T. Howes, M. Smith
Filename : draft-ietf-asid-ldap-format-01.txt
Pages : 5
Date : 09/21/1995

LDAP is the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol, defined in [1] and [2].
This document describes a format for an LDAP Uniform Resource Locator which
will allow Internet clients to have direct access to the LDAP protocol.
While LDAP currently is used only as a front end to the X.500 directory,
the URL format described here is general enough to handle the case of
stand-alone LDAP servers (i.e., LDAP servers not back ended by X.500).

This document is meant to provide information to the Internet community.
The format it describes is at the experimental stage. It is anticipated
that once more experience with the format is gained, a standards track
version of this document will be pursued. Please send comments to the
authors.

Internet-Drafts are available by anonymous FTP. Login with the username
"anonymous" and a password of your e-mail address. After logging in,
type "cd internet-drafts" and then
"get draft-ietf-asid-ldap-format-01.txt".
A URL for the Internet-Draft is:
ftp://ds.internic.net/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-asid-ldap-format-01.txt
Internet-Drafts directories are located at:
o Africa
Address: ftp.is.co.za (196.4.160.8)
o Europe
Address: nic.nordu.net (192.36.148.17)
Address: ftp.nis.garr.it (192.12.192.10)
o Pacific Rim

o US East Coast

Internet-Drafts are also available by mail.
Send a message to: mailserv@ds.internic.net. In the body type:
"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-ietf-asid-ldap-format-01.txt".
NOTE: The mail server at ds.internic.net can return the document in
MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this
feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers
exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
"multipart" MIME messages (i.e., documents which have been split
up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
how to manipulate these messages.
For questions, please mail to Internet-Drafts@cnri.reston.va.us.

Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version
of the Internet-Draft.
