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

* Signs the following XML using an HMAC key.

* <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>
* <collection Id="root">
* 	<album>
* 		<title>Questions, unanswered</title>
* 		<artist>Steve and the flubberblubs</artist>

* The above XML is available at https://www.chilkatsoft.com/exampleData/flubberblub.xml
* Fetch the XML and then sign it..

lcUrl = "https://www.chilkatsoft.com/exampleData/flubberblub.xml"
loHttp = CreateObject('Chilkat.Http')
loSbXml = CreateObject('Chilkat.StringBuilder')
lnSuccess = loHttp.QuickGetSb(lcUrl,loSbXml)
IF (lnSuccess <> 1) THEN
    ? loHttp.LastErrorText
    RELEASE loHttp
    RELEASE loSbXml
    CANCEL
ENDIF

loXmlSigGen = CreateObject('Chilkat.XmlDSigGen')

* The Signature will be inserted under the "collection" element.
loXmlSigGen.SigLocation = "collection"

* Sign everything in <collection Id="root"> ... </collection>
loXmlSigGen.AddSameDocRef("root","sha256","C14N","","")

* Specify the HMAC key.
* For example, if the HMAC key is to be the us-ascii bytes of the string "secret",
* the HMAC key can be set in any of the following ways (and also more ways not shown here..)
loXmlSigGen.SetHmacKey("secret","ascii")
* or
loXmlSigGen.SetHmacKey("c2VjcmV0","base64")
* or
loXmlSigGen.SetHmacKey("736563726574","hex")

* Sign the XML..
lnSuccess = loXmlSigGen.CreateXmlDSigSb(loSbXml)
IF (lnSuccess <> 1) THEN
    ? loXmlSigGen.LastErrorText
    RELEASE loHttp
    RELEASE loSbXml
    RELEASE loXmlSigGen
    CANCEL
ENDIF

* Examine the signed XML:
? loSbXml.GetAsString()

* The output is:
* 
* <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>
