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

'  Send the following request:

' $ curl -X GET https://api.ibanity.com/xs2a/financial-institutions \
' --cert certificate.pem \
' --key private_key.pem \
' -H 'Signature: keyId="75b5d796-de5c-400a-81ce-e72371b01cbc",created=1599659223,algorithm="hs2019",headers="(request-target) digest (created) host",signature="BASE64(RSA-SHA256(SIGNING_STRING))"' \
' -H 'Digest: SHA-512=beDaRguyEb8fhh5wnl37bOTDtvhuYZyZNkTZ9LiC9Wc='
