Load .crl, Convert to XML, Get Revoked Serial Numbers and Dates

See more Certificates Examples

Load a binary .crl file (Certificate Revocation List), converts to XML, and then gets the revoked certificate serial numbers and revocation dates.

Note: This example requires Chilkat v9.5.0.77 or greater.

Perl

use chilkat();

$success = 0;

# This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
# See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

# Load a binary .crl file.
$bdCrl = chilkat::CkBinData->new();
$success = $bdCrl->LoadFile("qa_data/crl/ca1.crl");
if ($success != 1) {
    print "Failed to load CRL file." . "\r\n";
    exit;
}

$asn = chilkat::CkAsn->new();
$success = $asn->LoadBd($bdCrl);
if ($success != 1) {
    print $asn->lastErrorText() . "\r\n";
    exit;
}

# Convert ASN.1 to XML and load into xml and re-emit for pretty printing..
$xml = chilkat::CkXml->new();
$xml->LoadXml($asn->asnToXml());
$success = $xml->SaveXml("qa_output/crl.xml");

# Use this online tool to generate parsing code from CRL XML: 
# Generate Parsing Code from XML

# Here's code to parse the XML.  This code was generated by the above tool,
# and then we modified it by removing unneeded code and changing some names

            # Starting in Chilkat v9.5.0.77, date/time strings formatted as YYMMDDhhmmssZ can be parsed as follows:
            $dt->SetFromTimestamp($dateRevoked);
            print "date revoked: " . $dt->getAsRfc822(0) . "\r\n";
