# A secret name can include up to 4 components:
# [appName] / service / [domain] / username

# This example will demonstrate secret specification strings
# for each possible combination.

# ------------------------------------------------------
# 1: service + username
$sspec = '!!imap|john@example.com';

$secrets->SecretSpecToJson($sspec,$json);
print $json->emit() . "\r\n";

# Result:

#   "service": "imap",
#   "username": "john@example.com"
# }

# ------------------------------------------------------
# 2: appName + service + username
$sspec = '!!myApp|imap|john@example.com';

$secrets->SecretSpecToJson($sspec,$json);
print $json->emit() . "\r\n";

# Result:
# {
#   "appName": "myApp",
#   "service": "imap",
