See more HTTP Examples

Sends an RFC 3161 timestamp request to a TSA (Timestamp Authority) server and converts the timestamp reply to XML, and then extracts the TSTInfo from the XML and converts it to XML.

*    The genTime (GeneralizedTime) is contained in the final "universal" XML element and is

*    The syntax is: YYYYMMDDhhmmss[.s...]Z
