Workaround for the deprecated Crypt2.OpaqueSignBytesENC method

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

require 'chilkat'

success = false

crypt = Chilkat::CkCrypt2.new()

cert = Chilkat::CkCert.new()
# ...
# Load the cert from a source such as a .pfx/.p12 file, smart card, USB token, Apple keychain, Windows certificate store, etc.
# 
success = crypt.SetSigningCert(cert)

path = "c:/someDir/example.dat"

# ------------------------------------------------------------------------
# The OpaqueSignBytesENC method is deprecated:

inData = Chilkat::CkByteData.new()
inData.loadFile(path)

crypt.put_EncodingMode("base64")
base64_sig = crypt.opaqueSignBytesENC(inData)

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

bd = Chilkat::CkBinData.new()
bd.LoadFile(path)

# The contents of bd are replaced with the opaque signature.
success = crypt.OpaqueSignBd(bd)

base64_sig = bd.getEncoded("base64")
