I have added the support for ":<" by enhancing org.apache.directory.shared.ldap.ldif.LdifParserImpl in trunks/shared/ldap . Is this enhancement interesting enough to open a JIRA and submit a patch for? If so I'd need some help regarding how to preprocess the unit test files in Maven2 so that the "file://" URL includes a sensible absolute path name by the time the unit test actually runs. Or alternatively the unit test could cover the "http://" case only (mandating an internet connection being available for the unit tests to pass). Cheers
