[jira] [Commented] (INFRA-3656) Download Page Has Link To Windows MD5 Program Which Doesn't Work: Fourmilab md5

["Glen Mazza (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/INFRA-3656?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13039179#comment-13039179 ] 

Glen Mazza commented on INFRA-3656:
-----------------------------------

This is an infrastructure issue, so I'm moving it to Infra, as it occurs on the apache.org site directly.  The particular MD5 generator that the reporter has mentioned appears to be a no-name application that perhaps should not be linked to anyway, regardless of whether it works.

> *The download mirrors page has a link to the Formiliab md5 program which gives the wrong md5 digest for apache-cxf-2.3.4.zip.*
> *I suggest you remove this link from the download mirrors page.*
> I downloaded apache-cxf-2.3.4.zip from the downlaod mirrors page page: http://www.apache.org/dyn/closer.cgi?path=/cxf/2.3.4/apache-cxf-2.3.4.zip via this link http://apache.mirror.testserver.li//cxf/2.3.4/apache-cxf-2.3.4.zip.

> The download mirrors page has three links at the bottom for Windows md5 applications.
> The first link is to http://www.fourmilab.ch/md5/.  I downloaded md5.zip from this site, unpacked it and ran it against the zip file.  The result (incorrect digest) is shown below.
