I have some data I am working with that is not being interpreted as a strin=
g requiring=0A=
base64 encoding when sent to the ldif module for output.=0A=
=0A=
The base64 string parsed is ZGV0XDMzMTB3YmJccGc=3D and the raw string is de=
t\3310wbb\pg.=0A=
I'll admit my understanding of the handling requirements of non ascii data =
in 2.7 is weak=0A=
and as such I am failing at adjusting the regex that deduces is the string =
contains characters=0A=
requiring base64 encoding when being output.=0A=
=0A=
Any insight, or nudges in the right direction would be appreciated!=0A=
Thanks,=0A=
