I'm sick of coping the checksum of important files by hand or QR-code
to the download manager or console.
To solve the problem I suggest a checksum attribute in the <a href>
tag.
It seems that problem is solved at the HTTP level with RFC 1864:
<http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc1864>
The latest spec defining Content-MD5 was RFC 2616. It will not be
included in the revision of HTTP/1.1 because of broken interop for Range
requests, and because of the weakness of MD5 (see
<http://trac.tools.ietf.org/wg/httpbis/trac/ticket/178> for context).
That being said a new response header field that is well-defined wrt to
partial responses and more flexible wrt to digest algorthms would be
interesting.
