According to RFC 2696 section 3: ---- Each time the server returns a set of results to the client when processing a search request containing the pagedResultsControl, the server includes the pagedResultsControl control in the searchResultDone message. In the control returned to the client, the size MAY be set to the server's estimate of the total number of entries in the entire result set. Servers that cannot provide such an estimate MAY set this size to zero (0). The cookie MUST be set to an ---- Presumably the value could change every time you repeat the search, as the server's knowledge of the search result set improves. If this isn't the value you were looking for, can you be more specific and tell us which bit of PDU you were originally thinking of? > -----Original Message----- > From: Chris Ridd [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Thursday, June 26, 2003 5:42 PM > To: Perl-LDAP Mailing List > Cc: Edward Hibbert > Subject: Re: [Fwd: Query] > > > On 26/6/03 5:24 pm, Graham Barr <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > >> -----Forwarded Message----- >> From: Edward Hibbert <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >> To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >> Subject: Query >> Date: 26 Jun 2003 17:10:13 +0100 >> >> Hi, >> >> I'm using your perl LDAP paged results module.
