//  Our HMAC key will be the bytes represented in the following hex string.
//  In other words, the HMAC key is composed of the bytes 0x41, 0xC2, 0x1C, ...
//  (It is not composed of the us-ascii string '4', '1', 'C', ...)

//  We'll need to decode the hex to binary:
Dim bd As New Chilkat.BinData

//  Do the HMAC-SHA256 hash and return as a hex string:
