    //  Any string argument automatically begins the 30-day trial.

    }

    //  The output will be modified Base64.
    //  Modified Base64 for URLs replaces the '+' and '/' characters
    //  of standard Base64 with '-' and '_' respectively, so that these
    //  Base64 signatures no longer need to be URL-encoded.

    //  NOTE: At the time of this writing, the "modBase64" encoding mode is
    //  available in the pre-release build only.  Send email to
    //  support@chilkatsoft.com if you need a pre-release.  This feature will be
    //  included in the next official release.

    //  Set the hash algorithm to sha-1
    crypt.put_HashAlgorithm("sha-1");

    //  Set the HMAC key (this is the private key provided by Google)
    crypt.SetHmacKeyEncoded("vNIXE0xscrmjlyV-12Nj_BvUPaw=","modBase64");

    //  Compute the URL signature
    sig = crypt.hmacStringENC("/maps/api/geocode/json?address=New+York&sensor=false&client=clientID");
