1.7  Eldap 1.2.2

Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions

  • If the underlying tcp connection is closed and an LDAP operation returned tcp_error, the client applications tend to close the ldap handle with eldap:close. This will cause a {nocatch, {gen_tcp_error, ...}} exception.

    Such errors are now ignored during close, because the socket will be closed anyway.
