Feature Request: SHA256 Hash on Download Items

[Eric Lawrence]

It would be super-useful if the extension APIs exposed the SHA256 hash of downloaded files. This would allow, for instance, a developer to easily implement an extension which checks VirusTotal for information about the download as it completes. Today, building such an extension requires a NativeHost, which makes it much more difficult to deploy and less safe.

Thanks for the suggestion!

I left a comment on the bug but it seems like a reasonable idea.
