Re: url-ldap.el

[CHENG Gao]

ldap-search-internal is not defined in url-ldap.el, but in
lisp/net/ldap.el.

In latest CVS code, the definition of ldap-search-internal is

defun ldap-search-internal (search-plist)

And Google searching generates some useful links for its old definition:

1. 
http://docsrv.sco.com:8457/cgi-bin/info2html?(lispref.info.gz)Searching%2520on%2520a%2520LDAP%2520Server%2520(Low-level)

the definition is
 - Function: ldap-search-internal ldap filter base scope attrs attrsonly

2. http://www.lns.cornell.edu/public/COMP/info/xemacs/lispref/lispref_54.html
same definition as above.

And from Emacs ediff archive, I found one item committed on Oct. 14,
2003 -
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-diffs/2003-10/msg01232.html, in
which the definition is the same as in latest code. So the change is
before this.

And http://www.tug.org/ftp/texlive/Contents/live/xemtex/lisp/ldap.el is
revision 1.12, in which ldap-search-internal does not exist. And it
makes ldap-search obsolete. Seems it's for Xemacs. I guess around the
time of this revision, Emacs and Xemacs followed different roads.

>From Emacs cvs log, I found the earliest change of ldap-search-internel
is

revision 1.3.4.1
date: 2001/12/28 06:28:32;  author: rms;  state: Exp;  lines: +2 -2
(ldap-search-internal): Handle <file://...> in results.

But there is no record of change to definition.

Wish my observations can be of some use.
