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

* The GovTalkMessage response looks something like this:

* <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
* <GovTalkMessage xmlns="http://www.govtalk.gov.uk/CM/envelope">
*   <EnvelopeVersion>3.1</EnvelopeVersion>
*   <Header>

*       <TransactionID />
*       <AuditID />
*       <CorrelationID>aaaaa</CorrelationID>
*       <ResponseEndPoint PollInterval="0" />

*   </Body>
* </GovTalkMessage>

* We want to get the content of the Body and decrypt it.

* First, let's get the content of the Body XML element, which is a base64 string starting with MIIF2w...

loXml = CreateObject('Chilkat.Xml')

* Append the bytes to bd.

* Decrypt in-place.

IF (lnSuccess = 0) THEN
    ? loCrypt.LastErrorText
    RELEASE loXml
    RELEASE loCert
    RELEASE loCrypt
    RELEASE loBd
    CANCEL
ENDIF

* Save the decrypted data to a file.
lnSuccess = loBd.WriteFile("qa_output/out.dat")

* If the decrypted data is non-text (binary) then we can examine it in an encoding, such as hex:
? "Decrypted bytes as hex: " + loBd.GetEncoded("hex")
