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

loMime = createobject("CkMime")

// Load a certificate w/ private key for signing.
loCert = createobject("CkCert")
llSuccess = loCert.LoadPfxFile("qa_data/pfx/ecc256_12345.p12","12345")
if (llSuccess <> .T.) then
    ? loCert.LastErrorText
    release loMime
    release loCert
    return
endif

? "Cert: " + loCert.SubjectDN

// Create a simple MIME message to be signed:
loMime.AddHeaderField("Subject","This is a test")
loMime.AddHeaderField("MyCustomHeader","abc123")
loMime.ContentType = "text/plain"
loMime.SetBody("This is a plain-text body.")

// Examine the MIME prior to signing:
? "--- MIME prior to signing ---"
? loMime.GetMime()

// The MIME prior to signing looks like this:

// Subject: This is a test
// MyCustomHeader: abc123
// Content-Type: text/plain; format=flowed
// 
// This is a plain-text body.

// Use SHA256 as the hash algorithm in the CMS signature.
loMime.SigningHashAlg = "SHA256"

// Add a detached signature:
llSuccess = loMime.AddDetachedSignature(loCert)
if (llSuccess = .F.) then
    ? loMime.LastErrorText
    release loMime
    release loCert
    return
endif

// Examine the MIME with detached signature:
? "--- MIME with detached signature ---"
