(Unicode C++) Get Certificate CRL Distribution Points

Demonstrates how to get a certificate's CRL Distribution Points extension data (assuming it exists). In the vast majority of cases, there will be one CRL Distribution Point.

Note: This example requires Chilkat v9.5.0.76 or greater.

    xml.LoadXml(extensionXmlStr);

    //  See what we have..
    wprintf(L"%s\n",xml.getXml());

    //  We should get XML like this:

    //  <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
    //  <sequence>

    //          <contextSpecific tag="0" constructed="1">
    //              <contextSpecific tag="0" constructed="1">
    //                  <contextSpecific tag="6" constructed="0">aHR0cDovL2NybC5jb21vZG9jYS5jb20vQ09NT0RPUlNBQ2xpZW50QXV0aGVudGljYXRpb25hbmRTZWN1

    //          </contextSpecific>
    //      </sequence>
    //  </sequence>

        wprintf(L"CRL Distribution Point:  %s\n",sbDistPoint.getAsString());
