Sign String to create a CAdES-T Signature, using HTTP Proxy to Access Timestamp Server

This example will sign a string to create a CAdEST-T signature. It will use an HTTP proxy to access the timestamp server. Chilkat2-Python

# A CAdES-T signature is one that includes a timestampToken created by an online TSA (time stamping authority).
# We must include the TSA's URL, as well as a few options to indicate what is desired.
# Except for the TSA URL, the options shown here are typically what you would need.

# -------------------------------------------------------------------------
# The purpose of this example is to show how an HTTP object with custom
# settings can be used to access the Internet when signing.
# Access to the Internet is needed to communicate with the timestamp server.
http = chilkat2.Http()
# This can be a domain name, hostname, or IP address.

crypt.SetTsaHttpObj(http)
# -------------------------------------------------------------------------

# This creates the CAdES-T signature.  During the signature creation, it
# communicates with the TSA to get a timestampToken.
# The contents of bd are signed and replaced with the CAdES-T signature (which embeds the original content).
