(Unicode C++) Create XML Signature with External Data Reference

Demonstrates how to create 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 inserts an XML signature in the following XML:

    // <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>
    // <abc>
    //   <xyz>
    //     <jpg>
    //         <name>starfish.jpg</name>
    //         <url>https://www.chilkatsoft.com/images/starfish.jpg</url>
    //     </jpg>
    //   </xyz>
    // </abc>

    // The above XML is available at https://www.chilkatsoft.com/exampleData/addSignatureToThis.xml
    // First fetch the XML:

    const wchar_t *url = L"https://www.chilkatsoft.com/exampleData/addSignatureToThis.xml";
    CkHttpW http;
    CkStringBuilderW sbXml;
    bool success = http.QuickGetSb(url,sbXml);
    if (success != true) {
        wprintf(L"%s\n",http.lastErrorText());
        return;
    }

    // We'll use an RSA private key for signing.  
    CkPrivateKeyW rsaKey;
    success = rsaKey.LoadPemFile(L"qa_data/rsa/rsaPrivKey_pkcs8.pem");
    if (success != true) {
        wprintf(L"%s\n",rsaKey.lastErrorText());
        return;
    }

    CkXmlDSigGenW xmlSigGen;

    // Indicate were the Signature will be inserted:
    xmlSigGen.put_SigLocation(L"abc|xyz|jpg");

    // Provide the RSA key to be used for signing:
    xmlSigGen.SetPrivateKey(rsaKey);

    // Fetch the JPG image data.
    const wchar_t *jpgUrl = L"https://www.chilkatsoft.com/images/starfish.jpg";
    CkBinDataW jpgData;
    success = http.QuickGetBd(jpgUrl,jpgData);
    if (success != true) {
        wprintf(L"%s\n",http.lastErrorText());
        return;
    }

    // Add the external data reference:
    xmlSigGen.AddExternalBinaryRef(jpgUrl,jpgData,L"sha256",L"");

    // Create the XML digital signature:
    success = xmlSigGen.CreateXmlDSigSb(sbXml);
    if (success != true) {
        wprintf(L"%s\n",xmlSigGen.lastErrorText());
        return;
    }

    // Examine the XML that now contains the Signature:
    wprintf(L"%s\n",sbXml.getAsString());

    // <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>
    // <abc>
    //   <xyz>
