Workaround for the deprecated Crypt2.HashString method

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

require 'chilkat'

crypt = Chilkat::CkCrypt2.new()

crypt.put_Charset("utf-8")

crypt.put_HashAlgorithm("sha256")

inputStr = "This is a test."

# ------------------------------------------------------------------------
# The HashString method is deprecated:

outData = Chilkat::CkByteData.new()

success = crypt.HashString(inputStr,outData)

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

crypt.put_EncodingMode("base64")
hash_base64 = crypt.hashStringENC(inputStr)

print hash_base64 + "\n";
