-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: CXF-3533
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CXF-3533
Project: CXF
Issue Type: Bug
Affects Versions: 2.3.4
Environment: Windows XP
Reporter: John Heslop
Priority: Minor
*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.
I downloaded apache-cxf-2.3.4.zip.md5 from this page:
http://cxf.apache.org/download.html. The value of the digest is:
a48280a79c65d28e446a357613fa5b46
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.
{code}
Y:\Tmp\md5>md5 -d..\apache-cxf-2.3.4.zip

The second link is to http://www.pc-tools.net/win32/md5sums/. From there I
downloaded md5sums-1.2.zip, unpacked it and ran it. The result (correct
digest) is shown below.
{code}
Y:\Tmp\md5sums-1.2>md5sums -e ..\apache-cxf-2.3.4.zip
