I'm implementing new protocol of WebSocket ( http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-socket-protocol/ ). Since it now requires MD5 in handshake, I wonder how I could add MD5 in WebCore. For now, there is no MD5 in WebCore. It is in WebKitTools/DumpRenderTree to get message digest of image file.

I'm thinking to add new header file as WebCore/platform/MD5.h, which provides the following functions.

  struct MD5_CTX;
  void MD5_Init(MD5_CTX*);
  void MD5_Update(MD5_CTX*, unsigned char* input, unsigned length);
  void MD5_Final(unsigned char hash[16], MD5_CTX*);

In Windows platform, it is implemented using "Cryptdll.dll". Is it ok to copy WebKitTools/DumpRenderTree/win/MD5.cpp to WebCore/ platform/win/MD5.cpp, or move? In Mac platform, it is provided by <CommonCrypto/CommonDigest.h> with #define COMMON_DIGEST_FOR_OPENSSL ? In Chromium, there is chrome/src/base/md5.{h,cc}. Should I copy this in WebCore/platform/chromium, or add dependency to base from WebCore? How about other ports? is it ok to link openssl or some other library? (or use implementation used in chromium?)

I'm also wonder I need to put these functions in namespace WebCore.

If you put this code in WebCore, it should go in the WebCore namespace. I think it would also be a good idea to turn the API into something more WebCore-ish, something like:

namespace WebCore {

    class MD5 {
        MD5(); // what was MD5_Init
addBytes(uint8_t* input, size_t length); // what was MD5_Update ; or maybe this should take a Vector<uint8_t>?
        Vector<uint8_t, 16> checksum(); // what was MD5_Final
    };
}

(The key point being to match the coding style guidelines for names, but it also seems better to use a class here instead of a struct and functions that take a pointer to it.)
