[python3-ldap] RFC 2696

[python3ldap]

Hello Joseph,
you should be able to send the request using either the sync or async
strategy. The problem is how to build the "payload" of the control
value: according to rfc you must  create a searchControl Value of the
following format:

realSearchControlValue ::= SEQUENCE {
        size            INTEGER (0..maxInt),
                                -- requested page size from client
                                -- result set size estimate from server
        cookie          OCTET STRING

You should be able to do that using the pyasn1 module included in the
library but I must admit it''s not so easy to do it. I try to create a
specific function of the connection object for handling the paged
search in one of the next release of python3-ldap. Can you tell me
which ldap server are you using and the parameter of the search so I
can replicate it in my lab?

Have fun,
gc
