Hi there curl people :) I have been contemplating contributing a feature to the command-line tool and wanted to see what people thought of it first.
My use case is that I want to download a file and save it to disk and at the same time verify that the file is what I expected (ie, to catch replaced files, truncated http transfers and other network issues). Right now the way I’d do this is to do curl -O URL (or —-output FILE) and then use something like sha256sum -c to check the expected digest(s). Rather than having this as a two step, multi-tool thing would it be welcome for curl to do this all-in-one? Eg, curl -O URL —-hash sha256:HASH_VALUE Where curl would exit with status 0 if the digest of the downloaded file matched the —-hash argument, else exit non-zero. Does this sound like a good idea?
