Hi Pawel, It seems that the suggested changes to the md5 hash would lead to a saving of 7 bytes per application load for a given client. Every byte counts, but I'm not sure if the number of bytes saved in this case would be worth spending engineering time to implement in GWT.
My suggestion would be to create an issue report for this on the Issue Tracker, and better yet, if you could put together a patch that the team could use and attach it to the issue, I would be sure to forward it over to someone on the team to take a look at it. Here's a link to the Issue Tracker: http://code.google.com/p/google-web-toolkit/issues/list Let me know if you do post up an issue and I'll look into getting it on the radar. Hope that helps, -Sumit Chandel On Sun, Dec 7, 2008 at 6:38 AM, Pawel Jurski <paweljur...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Hi, > > I'm wondering if we can reduce GWT (MD5) file name size by > converting md5 hexadecimal number to something with bigger radix. > Simple example: > > 1) > BigInteger bi = new BigInteger > ("d41d8cd98f00b204e9800998ecf8427e", 16); > > System.out.println("MD5HEX: d41d8cd98f00b204e9800998ecf8427e > \nDEC:" > + bi.toString() > + "\nMAX_RADIX: " > + bi.toString(Character.MAX_RADIX) > + "\nMD5HEX: " > + new BigInteger(bi.toString(Character.MAX_RADIX), > Character.MAX_RADIX).toString(16)); > 2) > MD5HEX: d41d8cd98f00b204e9800998ecf8427e > DEC:281949768489412648962353822266799178366 > MAX_RADIX: ck2u8j60r58fu0sgyxrigm3cu > MD5HEX: d41d8cd98f00b204e9800998ecf8427e > > > It should reduce file name size for about 7 characters.
