AFAICS, the MD5 calculated on the response data only, which does not include the HTTP headers. Or perhaps you are referring to headers in the HTML? > 2. I need to set the MD5 for each page.

What about using the SIze assertion? This is not fool-proof, but is a good start, and much cheaper than using MD5. If you suspect that there are certain areas of the page that might degrade, you could use the Response Assertion as well. If you have Java coding expertise, you could use the BeanShell Assertion to do whatever you like.
