Workaround for the deprecated Crypt2.MacString method

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

require 'chilkat'

success = false

crypt = Chilkat::CkCrypt2.new()

crypt.put_Charset("utf-8")

# Do HMAC using SHA-256.
crypt.put_MacAlgorithm("hmac")
crypt.put_HashAlgorithm("sha256")

keyHex = "000102030405060708090A0B0C0D0E0F"
success = crypt.SetMacKeyEncoded(keyHex,"hex")

inputStr = "This is a test."

# ------------------------------------------------------------------------
# The MacString method is deprecated:

outData = Chilkat::CkByteData.new()

success = crypt.MacString(inputStr,outData)

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

crypt.put_EncodingMode("base64")
mac_base64 = crypt.macStringENC(inputStr)

print mac_base64 + "\n";
