' Typically, a certificate AIA(Authority Information access) contains 2 parts:
'
' On-line Certificate Status Protocol (1.3.6.1.5.5.7.48.1)
' Certification Authority Issuer (1.3.6.1.5.5.7.48.2)
'
' The base64 content for each OID (in this case) is just a string.
' The data can be accessed and decoded like this:
set sbOcsp = CreateObject("Chilkat.StringBuilder")
success = xml.GetChildContentSb("/C/oid,1.3.6.1.5.5.7.48.1|++",sbOcsp)
If (success = 1) Then

outFile.WriteLine("1.3.6.1.5.5.7.48.1: " & sbOcsp.GetAsString())
End If
set sbIssuer = CreateObject("Chilkat.StringBuilder")
success = xml.GetChildContentSb("/C/oid,1.3.6.1.5.5.7.48.2|++",sbIssuer)
If (success = 1) Then
success = sbIssuer.Decode("base64","utf-8")
outFile.WriteLine("1.3.6.1.5.5.7.48.2: " & sbIssuer.GetAsString())
End If
' The output looks like this:
' 1.3.6.1.5.5.7.48.1: http://ocsp.comodoca.com
' 1.3.6.1.5.5.7.48.2: http://crt.comodoca.com/COMODORSAClientAuthenticationandSecureEmailCA.crt

' Note: The Chilkat path passed to GetChildContentSb is composed of two commands:
' The first command is "/C/oid,1.3.6.1.5.5.7.48.1". It says "traverse the XML tree from the caller
' node and stop at the 1st node having tag = "oid" and content = "1.3.6.1.5.5.7.48.1".
' The "|" char separates the 1st command from the 2nd.
' The 2nd command is "++" and says "move to the next sibling".
