Feature request: Generic downloader with integrity check #62

Open iilyak opened 6 years ago

This might be out of scope for Alfred. However since Alfred got remote workflow feature recently it might be very easy to implement an integrity check for downloads (if you think it is useful).

Ability to download files via http/https with integrity checking. The goal is to automate the installation of development environment for new team members. We would love to be able to specify a list of urls to download with correspondent sha256 hash for every file. Of cause we could use a combination of following tools:

But how to download and check integrity of these tools? It is getting complicated to bootstrap the environment very quickly.

So a few things pop into mind here. You could have a config file with urls and their hashes(see config component) then loop with for component and do a curl + Sha256 validation. It could be done with Alfred as is. I'll see though if there is a clean way of doing this. On Thu, Dec 28, 2017 at 1:10 PM iilyak notifications@github.com wrote:
