(Go) MD5 Hash a String (such as a password string)

Demonstrates how to MD5 hash a string to get MD5 hash in hex encoded string representation. (The MD5 hash is 16 bytes, and therefore a hex encoded MD5 hash would be 32 chars.)

    password := "myPassword"

    crypt := chilkat.NewCrypt2()
    crypt.SetHashAlgorithm("md5")
    crypt.SetEncodingMode("hex")
    md5Hex := crypt.HashStringENC(password)
    fmt.Println("MD5 hash (as a hex string) = ", *md5Hex)

    // The hex string will be uppercase.  Your application
    // can easily convert it to lowercase if desired via non-Chilkat means.
