Yes, that's the historic reason my web2ldap still displays some LDAP URLs in <a href="">. Today I use these links mainly for constructing bookmarks. web2ldap simply processes LDAP URLs given as QUERY_STRING: http://web2ldap.de/usability.html#persistent_bookmarks > Don't recall when they axed that feature, It was part of Netscape Communicator 4.5+.

I remember that the public Bigfoot LDAP server contained HTML in some attributes which was directly displayed. So today with all the XSS stuff it would be a security nightmare in this naive form.
