[jira] [Created] (DIRSTUDIO-1296) Export doesn't decode RFC 4517 Postal Address syntax

Fredrik Roubert created DIRSTUDIO-1296:
------------------------------------------

             Summary: Export doesn't decode RFC 4517 Postal Address syntax
                 Key: DIRSTUDIO-1296
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DIRSTUDIO-1296
             Project: Directory Studio
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: studio-ldapbrowser
    Affects Versions: 2.0.0-M17
            Reporter: Fredrik Roubert


When exporting any entries using the RFC 4517 Postal Address syntax (1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.41) to any non-LDAP data format (CSV, Excel, …) these entries aren't decoded but the RFC 4517 escaped data is instead exported as-is, like this:

\241,000,000 Sweepstakes$PO Box 1000000$Anytown, CA 12345$USA

… instead of this:

$1,000,000 Sweepstakes

{{PO Box 1000000}}
{{Anytown, CA 12345}}
{{USA}}

I think it's safe to assume that no non-LDAP software is expected to be able to decode RFC 4517 escaped data, so not doing this decoding upon export must be a bug.

(This data is correctly decoded and encoded by default for display and edit within Directory Studio itself.)
