I'm trying to use the winapi crypto api to get a base64 encoded hash. I copied and modified to get the function below. I got it from here mostly - https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa382379(v=vs.85).aspx
Running it with calcHmacSha1("message", "key") should give IIjfdNXyFGtIFGyvSWU3fp0L46Q=. However it gives me SlLDwKvAoGBJ0atki7QFfj/181k=, the non base64 version it gives is 4a 52 c3 c0 ab c0 a0 60 49 d1 ab 64 8b b4 05 7e 3f f5 f3 59. This is a same situation encountered here - CryptoAPI returns incorrect result for HMAC_SHA1 - however his solution does not work for key's greater then 16 characters, and that is my need.

the function work correct, not need fix it. but you not take to account what is key here used for
HMAC- not direct your string key, but first, based on your string key,RC4key created andHMACcalculated for this binaryRC4key.different keys -> different hash.
windows not let direct use string keys. it algorithm is better - first convert weak string key to more strong binary key. however if you want use string key and got result for it - can use code like this:
