Delphi DLL Requires Chilkat v11.0.0+

Workaround for the deprecated Crypt2.HashString method

Shows how to replace the deprecated HashString method. (Chilkat is moving away from the use of CkByteData.) Delphi DLL

var
crypt: HCkCrypt2;
inputStr: PWideChar;
outData: HCkByteData;
hash_base64: PWideChar;

begin
crypt := CkCrypt2_Create();

CkCrypt2_putCharset(crypt,'utf-8');

CkCrypt2_putHashAlgorithm(crypt,'sha256');

inputStr := 'This is a test.';

//  ------------------------------------------------------------------------
//  The HashString method is deprecated:

outData := CkByteData_Create();

success := CkCrypt2_HashString(crypt,inputStr,outData);

//  ------------------------------------------------------------------------
//  Workaround.
//  (Chilkat is moving away from using CkByteData)

CkCrypt2_putEncodingMode(crypt,'base64');
hash_base64 := CkCrypt2__hashStringENC(crypt,inputStr);

Memo1.Lines.Add(hash_base64);

CkCrypt2_Dispose(crypt);
CkByteData_Dispose(outData);
