Sebb created HTTPCORE-529:
-----------------------------
Summary: MD5 should no longer be provided on download pages
Key: HTTPCORE-529
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HTTPCORE-529
Project: HttpComponents HttpCore
Issue Type: Bug
Environment: http://hc.apache.org/downloads.cgi#HttpCore_4.4.10_GA
Reporter: Sebb
The use of MD5 hashes on download pages was deprecated a while ago now.
https://www.apache.org/dev/release-distribution#sigs-and-sums
MD5 hashes should no longer be generated or linked from the download page.
[They are only OK for historic releases that don't have other hashes]
Also the sentence "The MD5 link downloads the checksum from the main site. "
needs to be rephrased as it does not cover SHA hashes.
