问题
(moved here from a combined question)
I'm wondering if there are any software tools projects to:
- create a standard machine-readable format for publishing a small metadata set = (download link + MD5 hash + optional public key and/or certificate)
- plus a browser plugin (preferably Firefox) to automatically read that data and assist in the steps of
- downloading the software,
- verify the downloaded software's integrity
- add an entry to a log including this information along with what page the software was downloaded from.
I know I manually generate the MD5 and compare the MD5 hash, but it's a very repetitive series of steps that can be error prone, and computers are great at automating things like this.
update: @cynoclast's answer got me curious and I ran across this bugtrack item in DownThemAll and this microformat and this firefox idea, which at least leads me to believe other people are also thinking along these lines.
