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.

//  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.
Chilkat.Http http = new Chilkat.Http();
//  This can be a domain name, hostname, or IP address.

//  -------------------------------------------------------------------------

//  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).

Debug.WriteLine("Success.");
