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

mime = chilkat.CkMime()

# Load a certificate w/ private key for signing.
cert = chilkat.CkCert()
success = cert.LoadPfxFile("qa_data/pfx/ecc256_12345.p12","12345")
if (success != True):
    print(cert.lastErrorText())
    sys.exit()

print("Cert: " + cert.subjectDN())

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

# Examine the MIME prior to signing:
print("--- MIME prior to signing ---")
print(mime.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.
mime.put_SigningHashAlg("SHA256")

# Add a detached signature:
success = mime.AddDetachedSignature(cert)
if (success == False):
    print(mime.lastErrorText())
    sys.exit()

# Examine the MIME with detached signature:
print("--- MIME with detached signature ---")
print(mime.getMime())
