Re: Re: Compare file content with a variable content

So you're generating an MD5 hash for your file on the URL? how does it work? Ar you automating this somehow? I'm using the header since I need the "last modified" date anyhow.

The MD5 algorithm is described in RFC 1321 and has it's (unofficial) homepage here. RSA Labs currently 'owns' it, FAQ is here. It's basically a fingerprint algorithm. For some reason using LWP::Simple's head() doesn't work all that well for me... Greetz Beatnik ... Quidquid perl dictum sit, altum viditur.	[reply]
