Hi,
I want to search for LDAP contacts by using the new OpenDirectory
Framework API but this is not possible because I can't stop a query
immediately. I need to stop it when the user types in a different
search string. So I can setup a new query. To make things worse this
is all happening on the main thread and the application hangs until
the query is really stopped.
The duration to stop an ODQuery immediately after it has been created
and started is in my case 9 seconds! But I must say that this depends
on the network. My colleague has a faster network connection and he
measured a duration of 1 second.
Anyway, I think stopping the query should happen immediately (not
depending on network connections etc.)
If anyone knows a workaround please let me know.
Thanks,
Andreas
Here is my test code:
#import <Foundation/Foundation.h>
#import <OpenDirectory/OpenDirectory.h>
/*
LDAP Server : ldap.baylor.edu
LDAP Search Base : ou=People,o=Baylor University,c=US
LDAP Mappings : RFC 2307 (Unix)
No SSL, no username and no password.
(Configured with the Directory Utility)
