KDE uses the kio slave system for that. You call for example 
KIO::get("some-url") and some time later when the data is there the kio slave 
emits a signal which you can connect to a function that can do something with 
the data. Have a look, how that for example works for attachment inserting in 
KMail's composer window.
As far as I know such a kio slave for ldap already exists in kdebase. If you 
enter ldap://some.server/ and possibly also some search string in Konqueror, 
I currently don't know the exact syntax, then you get the result displayed.

Of course, since the release date is not far away, but I think that is not a 
reason to not work already on new features. It doesn't hurt when something is 
already ready for committing when the freeze is over.
