Description
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #23160 +++
Some protocols allow or require a checksum to be sent at the beginning of a file transfer. Currently, we require the client initiating the file transfer to calculate file transfer checksums. Problems with this:
- AIM uses an obscure hash algorishm (and requires the checksum)
It has been proposed that we should just put the strange hashing algorithms in telepathy-glib, telepathy-qt4 and telepathy-python, which would fix this.
