Combine Timestamp Reply and Content File into a TimeStampData

See more ASN.1 Examples

Demonstrates how to combine a timestamp reply (RFC 3161) with a data file (any type of file) to create a TimeStampData structure (RFC 5544).

    // Load a timestamp reply file
    CkBinDataW bdTsr;

    //         <sequence>       <---- Remove this sub-tree.
