How to Load a JWK Set Published at a Remote URL

See more JSON Web Signatures (JWS) Examples

Demonstrates how to load a JWK set published at a remote URL. In general, this example can fetch any JSON, or any text (non-binary) document from a remote URL. It uses the Chilkat HTTP API to do it. VB.NET

Dim success As Boolean = False

' This example assumes the Chilkat HTTP API to have been previously unlocked.
' See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

Dim http As New Chilkat.Http

' I put a sample JWK set at this URL: https://www.chilkatsoft.com/data/jwk-set.json
' You can test this example with it.
Dim sbJwkSet As New Chilkat.StringBuilder
success = http.QuickGetSb("https://www.chilkatsoft.com/data/jwk-set.json",sbJwkSet)
If (success = False) Then
    Debug.WriteLine(http.LastErrorText)
    Exit Sub
End If


' Load the JWK into a JSON object..
Dim jwkSet As New Chilkat.JsonObject
jwkSet.LoadSb(sbJwkSet)
jwkSet.EmitCompact = False
Debug.WriteLine("The full JWK Key Set:")
Debug.WriteLine(jwkSet.Emit())

' Iterate over each key...
Dim jwk As New Chilkat.JsonObject
Dim numKeys As Integer = jwkSet.SizeOfArray("keys")
Dim i As Integer = 0
While i < numKeys
    jwkSet.I = i
    Debug.WriteLine("---- JWK " & i & " ----")

    jwkSet.ObjectOf2("keys[i]",jwk)

    jwk.EmitCompact = False
    Debug.WriteLine(jwk.Emit())
    i = i + 1
End While

' Output:

' The full JWK Key Set:
