James,

My request is:

Put the MD5 value as a text string somewhere on the page.

Ok, I've changed that now.

Still, IMHO, listing checksums on the same webpage as the downloadable file doesn't make much sense, security-wise. If an attacker can modify the script, he most probably can change the checksum on the webpage as well. That's why I include the checksum in the postings to the pca-news mailing list, to have a second independent channel.

You can also get PCA via HTTPS, BTW:

hth,
Martin.
