(CkPython) Verify XML Signature with External Data Reference

Demonstrates how to verify an XML digital signature where the data is external. In this case, the data is a JPG file.

This example requires Chilkat v9.5.0.69 or greater.

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

# The XML containing the Signature to be verified contains the following:
# <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>
# <abc>
#   <xyz>
#     <jpg>
