[jira] [Commented] (FLEX-33150) Progamatically verify the MD5 hash
of the downloaded Apache Flex SDK
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLEX-33150?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13426835#comment-13426835 ]

--------------------------------------------
Erik,
Thanks a lot for working on this. I havent tried your code yet. Will do it tonight.
I prefer to keep the hash verification mandatory. Compared to the overall download times, the ~150 seconds should not be too much of an addition.
