    ; Typically, a certificate AIA(Authority Information access) contains 2 parts:
    ; 
    ;     On-line Certificate Status Protocol (1.3.6.1.5.5.7.48.1)
    ;     Certification Authority Issuer (1.3.6.1.5.5.7.48.2)
    ; 
    ; The base64 content for each OID (in this case) is just a string.  
    ; The data can be accessed and decoded like this:

    sbOcsp.i = CkStringBuilder::ckCreate()
    If sbOcsp.i = 0
        Debug "Failed to create object."
        ProcedureReturn
    EndIf

    success = CkXml::ckGetChildContentSb(xml,"/C/oid,1.3.6.1.5.5.7.48.1|++",sbOcsp)
    If success = 1
        CkStringBuilder::ckDecode(sbOcsp,"base64","utf-8")
        Debug "1.3.6.1.5.5.7.48.1:  " + CkStringBuilder::ckGetAsString(sbOcsp)
    EndIf

    sbIssuer.i = CkStringBuilder::ckCreate()
    If sbIssuer.i = 0
        Debug "Failed to create object."
        ProcedureReturn
    EndIf

    success = CkXml::ckGetChildContentSb(xml,"/C/oid,1.3.6.1.5.5.7.48.2|++",sbIssuer)
    If success = 1
        CkStringBuilder::ckDecode(sbIssuer,"base64","utf-8")
        Debug "1.3.6.1.5.5.7.48.2:  " + CkStringBuilder::ckGetAsString(sbIssuer)
    EndIf

    ; The output looks like this:

    ; 1.3.6.1.5.5.7.48.1:  http://ocsp.comodoca.com
    ; 1.3.6.1.5.5.7.48.2:  http://crt.comodoca.com/COMODORSAClientAuthenticationandSecureEmailCA.crt

    ; -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    ; Note: The Chilkat path passed to GetChildContentSb is composed of two commands:
    ; The first command is "/C/oid,1.3.6.1.5.5.7.48.1".   It says "traverse the XML tree from the caller
    ; node and stop at the 1st node having tag = "oid" and content = "1.3.6.1.5.5.7.48.1".
    ; The "|" char separates the 1st command from the 2nd.
    ; The 2nd command is "++" and says "move to the next sibling".
