[ring] Content-MD5 ring middleware

[BernardH]

Hi,

In order to enable content integrity check of uploaded and downloaded
files, I'd like to check / provide HTTP Content-MD5 header. This seems
like an opportunity for a very simple ring middeware [0].
Is there a reason for such a middleware not to be already available
with ring ?
Did I miss it ? Do I overestimated to usefulness this header [1] or
underestimated the trickyness of a correct implementation (I'm a
newb :) )?

Best Regards,

B.

I hate to reply to myself, but I just found :
http://trac.tools.ietf.org/wg/httpbis/trac/ticket/178
Content-MD5 has been recently deprecated from ietf drafts :(
I'm left to find another message integrity check :(

Sorry for the noise,

Best Regards,
