How to use HTTP Digest Field Workbench
Generate or compare SHA-256 and SHA-512 HTTP digest fields against explicitly supplied bytes. Choose Content-Digest for actual message content bytes or Repr-Digest for the complete selected representation. The tool uses those bytes exactly and never guesses transfer coding, compression or range context.
- Provide optional local byte file, utf-8 text when no file is selected, supplied digest field value (verify mode).
- Choose the supported mode and run the tool. Review its assumptions and any reported errors.
- Copy the result or download a separate output; reset to clear the current form.
Good to know
- Local file at most 5 MiB, including an empty file. Pasted text is strict UTF-8, at most 200 KB. Only SHA-256 and SHA-512 are computed.
- Verification parses a structured dictionary and requires byte-sequence values. Selected algorithms must be present and match; other algorithms remain explicitly unverified. Member parameters are reported and ignored.
- A checksum is not a signature or proof of trustworthy content. You must supply the correct content or representation bytes; no HTTP request, dechunking, decompression or range reconstruction occurs.
- Inputs are processed on this device and are not automatically saved or uploaded.
Common questions
Can I verify Repr-Digest using only a downloaded range?
Usually no. Repr-Digest covers the complete selected representation, which may differ from a partial response body. Supply the bytes required by the actual HTTP context.
Does this change my original input?
No. The tool returns a separate result. Review that output before using it in another application.
