Create XML Signature with External Data Reference

See more XML Digital Signatures Examples

Demonstrates how to create an XML digital signature where the data is external. In this case, the data is a JPG file.

This example requires Chilkat v9.5.0.69 or greater.

DataFlex

Use ChilkatAx-win32.pkg

Procedure Test
    Boolean iSuccess
    String sUrl
    Handle hoHttp
    Variant vSbXml
    Handle hoSbXml
    Variant vRsaKey
    Handle hoRsaKey
    Handle hoXmlSigGen
    String sJpgUrl
    Variant vJpgData
    Handle hoJpgData
    String sTemp1

    Move False To iSuccess

    // This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
    // See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

    // This example inserts an XML signature in the following XML:

    // <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>
    // <abc>
    //   <xyz>
    //     <jpg>

    //     </jpg>
    //   </xyz>
    // </abc>

    // The above XML is available at https://www.chilkatsoft.com/exampleData/addSignatureToThis.xml
    // First fetch the XML:

    Move "https://www.chilkatsoft.com/exampleData/addSignatureToThis.xml" To sUrl
