Cannot read sequences tagged with tags other than sequence

[mbr]

When parsing an LDAP query, the following structure must be parsed:

SearchRequest ::= [APPLICATION 3] SEQUENCE {
             baseObject      LDAPDN,
             scope           ENUMERATED {
                  baseObject              (0),
                  singleLevel             (1),
                  wholeSubtree            (2),
                  ...  },
             derefAliases    ENUMERATED {
                  neverDerefAliases       (0),
                  derefInSearching        (1),
                  derefFindingBaseObj     (2),
                  derefAlways             (3) },
             sizeLimit       INTEGER (0 ..  maxInt),
             timeLimit       INTEGER (0 ..  maxInt),
             typesOnly       BOOLEAN,
             filter          Filter,
             attributes      AttributeSelection }

However, the only way to parse a sequence of multiple primitives is by calling read_sequence, which assumes a tag of SEQUENCE.

To read the Tag::application(3) one must employ read_tagged with the correct tag, which will result in a BERReader - but we really want a BERReaderSeq here.

Do you mean implicit tags? If I remember correctly, you can just do read_sequence inside read_tagged_implicit. Then it doesn't expect SEQUENCE.
