joekun / filemd5hash Goto Github PK

Hi,
[FileHash md5HashOfFileAtPath:myPath] returns the hexadecimal representation of the digest. I would need the 16 bytes binary form, is there any way to get this?
Reason? I need to apply a base64 on the binary data using
[md5ByteStringData base64EncodedStringWithOptions:0]
and put this into a content-md5 HTTP header.
I searched now for a long time and could not find any convenient way to do this.
Any help appreciated.

Cocoapod spec for 0.0.1 is pointing to a specific commit instead of a tag. For some reason (I guess a rebase and push forced) the commit has disappeared from the tree, and now any other podspec relying on this tool can not be installed. Please, update cocoapods to fix the 0.0.1.

Does anyone know why 4096 is used as the default chunk size for reading data? According to https://opensource.apple.com/source/CommonCrypto/CommonCrypto-36064/Source/Digest/sha1.c (via http://stackoverflow.com/a/5387310/1011953), SHA1 (and perhaps the other digests) is hardware accelerated if the size of the data it is given is > 4096.

For example, the average of 100 sha1's on a ~1.4MB file on a 9.7" iPad Pro:

Thank you.
