Provide initialization method that accepts LDAP URIs #2

rhafer commented 14 years ago

I would be very helpful if the LDAP::Conn class would implement a constructor that accepts LDAP URIs. (I.e. a simple wrapper around the ldap_initialize() functions in OpenLDAP's C API). That way Ruby/LDAP could e.g. easily be used to access LDAP servers via LDAPI (LDAP over IPC/Unix Domain Sockets) and ldaps access could be implemented in a very transparent way as well (by just calling ldap_initialize("ldaps://")) without the need to call special functions for SSL.

hey, @rhafer, please try to use method LDAP::Conn.open_uri(uri) that was added in pull request #9
