[duplicate] Optional checksumming

[cybic]

The client should be allowed to send a header indicating which checksum algorithms it accepts, and the server should optionally checksum each data chunk, allowing the client to resend on checksum error.

Something like an 'Accept-Checksum: md5,crc32', either in the initial POST or in each PUT, and a following Checksum header in the response to each data chunk. The checksum algo should be negotiated, but something like md5 should probably be recommended.

The client is in charge of deciding whether a resend is required.

#7 is already tracking this, so closing this as a duplicate.

Anyway, can you comment on #7 to give your feedback on whether or not this should be part of the core protocol?
