(VBScript) Compute Glacier SHA256 Tree Hash of a File

Computes the Amazon Glacier SHA256 tree hash for a file.

Note: This example requires Chilkat v9.5.0.78 or greater.

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

set crypt = CreateObject("Chilkat.Crypt2")

' For more information about Amazon Glacier tree hashes, see Computing Glacier Checksums

' Return the hash in lowercase hexidecimal format.
