Re: (ITS#4991) pcache and rwm don't play well together

Hello,

slightly related to the above ITS, I have found another
issue. I am not sure 
though if this is a bug or if the behaviour is intended. I
have a setup here 
were the pcache and rwm-overlay is used on top of
back-ldap.
rwm is used to rewrite some Attributetypes unknown to the
Schema of the local 
server to Attributetypes that are defined in the local
server. As the 
attribute values from unknown attribute types cannot be
normalized by the 
proxy, I am wondering if rwm should normalize them during
the Mapping 
process? Otherwise the Values will endup un-normalized in
the cache database, 
and I get incomplete results when requests are answered from
the cache.

I have a patch ready for this but I was wondering if the
normalization step is 
left out by intention and wanted to ask before commiting my
patch.

No comments on this? So I guess this means I can just go
ahead and submit the 
patch to HEAD for testing?
