[xmlsec] Error in transforms.c

[Aleksey Sanin]

This error means that Reference verification failed. There are many 
posible reasons
for this, the most probable ones are:
    - the data were changed;
    - there is a bug in VISA software or in XMLSec library.

Several people complained about problems with recent VISA examples 
verification
recently. I've looked at a couple examples and I don't see problems on 
XMLSec
side (hint: use "--print-all" option for xmlsec command line utility). 
The signature
is really simple and I would be really surprised if it's a bug in 
XMLSec  because I did
change nothing in this area recently and such simple signatures were 
tested by many
people. However, if anyone will be able to figure out what is the 
problem I would be
happy to fix XMLSec.

Sorry, I don't think I can help you much right now.


With best regards,

Aleksey
