(CkPython) Verify SOAP XML using a wsse:SecurityTokenReference

This example verifies a SOAP XML Digital Signature where the KeyInfo in the XML Signature is a wsse:SecurityTokenReference to the X.509 certificate embedded elsewhere in the SOAP XML.

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

# The SOAP XML with digital signature verified in this example is available at 
# https://www.chilkatsoft.com/exampleData/signedSoapBinarySecurityToken.xml

signedSoapXmlUrl = "https://www.chilkatsoft.com/exampleData/signedSoapBinarySecurityToken.xml"

# First, let's get the signed SOAP XML..
http = chilkat.CkHttp()
sbXml = chilkat.CkStringBuilder()
success = http.QuickGetSb(signedSoapXmlUrl,sbXml)
if (success != True):
    print(http.lastErrorText())
    sys.exit()

# The signed XML downloaded from the above URL contains the following.
# Note: Everything we need to verify the signature is already available within the signed XML.
# The KeyInfo part of the Signature contains a reference to the wsse:BinarySecurityToken
# For clarity, here is the KeyInfo section extracted from the Signature below:
# 
# <ds:KeyInfo><wsse:SecurityTokenReference><wsse:Reference URI="#x509cert00" ValueType="http://docs.oasis-open.org/wss/2004/01/oasis-200401-wss-x509-token-profile-1.0#X509" /></wsse:SecurityTokenReference></ds:KeyInfo>
# 
# Chilkat has the capability to automatically follow the SecurityTokenReference.  It will automatically locate the 
# certificate contained in the wsse:BinarySecurityToken element (in this case identified by Id="x509cert00"), 
# automatically extracts the public key from the base64 X.509 certificate, and uses it to verify the signature.
