==================== MD5 validator plugin ==================== Entity bodies can sometimes be modified over the wire due to a faulty TCP transport or misbehaving proxy. If an HTTP response contains a Content-MD5 header, then a MD5 hash of the entity body of a response can be compared against the Content-MD5 header of the response to determine if the response was delivered intact. The ``Guzzle\Plugin\Md5\Md5ValidatorPlugin`` will throw an ``UnexpectedValueException`` if the calculated MD5 hash does not match the Content-MD5 header value: .. code-block:: php use Guzzle\Http\Client; use Guzzle\Plugin\Md5\Md5ValidatorPlugin; $client = new Client('http://www.test.com/'); $md5Plugin = new Md5ValidatorPlugin(); // Add the md5 plugin to the client object $client->addSubscriber($md5Plugin); $request = $client->get('http://www.yahoo.com/'); $request->send(); Calculating the MD5 hash of a large entity body or an entity body that was transferred using a Content-Encoding is an expensive operation. When working in high performance applications, you might consider skipping the MD5 hash validation for entity bodies bigger than a certain size or Content-Encoded entity bodies (see ``Guzzle\Plugin\Md5\Md5ValidatorPlugin`` for more information).
