Greetings all,
I would like to perform cryptographic operations with arbitrary binary files but am unable to figure how to convert the output of
file:read-binary() to something that could be processed by crypto:hmac() for example.
Can You give me a hint please?
TIA
Best regards

Hi Michel,
As the function only accepts strings as input, you can either explicitly cast your binary item to string – via xs:string($binary)… or contact the author of the module (Claudius Teodorescu) and issue a feature request.
HTH,
Christian
