Hey guys, I'm trying to write a simple script that will generate the sha1/md5 of a file before you download it.
I don't know how to code and would like to write this in perl/lisp because I heard those two are good for web programming and stuff.
I'm gonna make a scale that weighs you before you step on it maybe we should team up

Kek.

impossible.

you can't hash a file you don't have idiot.
>>55684669
what did he mean by this?

he wants to generate a hash from any file before actually downloading the full file, which like i said is impossible because even if 1 byte changes, then the entire hash will be off.
he COULD purchase a high speed server, and then have the script automatically send the file to the server temporarily, generate the hash, then feed it back to his main computer.

Just find an online hash service?

well see what the script would do is it would download the file first and create the hash. then he could download the file freely and without worry.
