' This requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.

' In this example, the URLs for the DigiCert root CA certs are available at this web page:

' This example downloads the "DigiCert Global Root G3"
' Valid until: 15/Jan/2038
' Serial #: 05:55:56:BC:F2:5E:A4:35:35:C3:A4:0F:D5:AB:45:72

' for this application.  (Note:  The trust is not persisted.  Each time the
' application runs, it should load the cert (from whatever source, whether it is
' a file, a database,etc.) and do the following:
' For versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0, use CreateObject("Chilkat_9_5_0.TrustedRoots")
set troots = Server.CreateObject("Chilkat.TrustedRoots")
