Create/Verify XML Signature with External Text Reference
See more XML Digital Signatures Examples
Demonstrates how to create an XML digital signature where the referenced data is external. In this case, the data is a text file located at the following URL: https://www.chilkatsoft.com/helloWorld.txtChilkat Unicode C Downloads
