// In order to sign your HTTP requests, you have to add 2 headers to the HTTP request: Digest: the digest of the request payload and Signature: the actual signature of the request. 

// POST /xs2a/customer-access-tokens HTTP/1.1
// Host: api.ibanity.com
// Content-Type: application/json
// Digest: SHA-512=z4PhNX7vuL3xVChQ1m2AB9Yg5AULVxXcg/SpIdNs6c5H0NE8XYXysP+DGNKHfuwvY7kxvUdBeoGlODJ6+SfaPg==
// Ibanity-Idempotency-Key: 61f02718-eeee-46e1-b5eb-e8fd6e799c2d
// Signature: keyId="62f02718-eeee-46e1-b5eb-e8fd6e799c2e",created=1599659223,algorithm="hs2019",headers="(request-target) host digest (created) ibanity-idempotency-key",signature="SjWJWbWN7i0...zsbM="
// 
// {"data":{"type":"customerAccessToken", "attributes":{"applicationCustomerReference":"15874569"}}}

// The payload (body) of the above HTTP request is the JSON.
// Build the JSON above.
// Use this online tool to generate code from sample JSON: 
// Generate Code to Create JSON
json := TChilkatJsonObject.Create(Self);
json.UpdateString('data.type','customerAccessToken');
json.UpdateString('data.attributes.applicationCustomerReference','15874569');

payload := json.Emit();
Memo1.Lines.Add('payload = ' + payload);

// Step 1: Build the (created) virtual header

dtNow := TCkDateTime.Create(Self);
dtNow.SetFromCurrentSystemTime();
created := dtNow.GetAsUnixTimeStr(0);
Memo1.Lines.Add('created = ' + created);

// Step 2: Build the Digest header
crypt := TChilkatCrypt2.Create(Self);
crypt.HashAlgorithm := 'sha512';
crypt.EncodingMode := 'base64';
crypt.Charset := 'utf-8';

sbDigestHdrValue := TChilkatStringBuilder.Create(Self);
sbDigestHdrValue.Append('SHA-512=');
sbDigestHdrValue.Append(crypt.HashStringENC(json.Emit()));

Memo1.Lines.Add(sbDigestHdrValue.GetAsString());

// Step 3: Build the (request target) virtual header

// In order to build the signature you will need a virtual header named (request-target) (the parentheses are important). 
// The (request-target) is the string concatenation of the HTTP method (in lowercase) with the path and query parameters.
request_target := 'post /xs2a/customer-access-tokens';

// Step 4: Build the signing string

// The signing string is the concatenation of the signed header names (in lowercase) and values separated by a LF.

// You must always sign the following headers: (request-target), host, (created), digest. 
// If used, you must also sign the authorization header and any ibanity-* headers, such as ibanity-idempotency-key.

sbSigningString.AppendLine(created,0);
sbSigningString.Append('ibanity-idempotency-key: ');
idempotencyKey := crypt.GenerateUuid();
sbSigningString.Append(idempotencyKey);

// Step 5: Build the signed headers list

// To allow Ibanity to check the signed headers, you must provide a list of the header names. They should be lowercase and in the same order used to create the signing string. 
signed_headers_list := '(request-target) host digest (created) ibanity-idempotency-key';

// Step 6: Build the Signature header

// This is where the real signing happens. The signature header is a combination of several sub-headers -
// 
//     keyId: the identifier for the application's signature certificate, obtained from the Developer Portal
//     algorithm: the digital signature algorithm used to generate the signature (must be hs2019)
//     headers: The list of HTTP headers created in step 5
//     signature: the Base64-encoded digital signature of the signing string created in step 4.
