Description Bastien Nocera 2008-03-28 16:40:09 UTC 
g_checksum_* will do the job.
Comment 1 Christophe Fergeau 2008-03-29 23:27:16 UTC 
g_checksum_* was added in glib 2.16 which was released this month, so for now, g_checksum_* use would have to be optional (or rb would need to ship a copy of gchecksum.[ch] for people with older glibs)
Comment 2 Jonathan Matthew 2008-03-29 23:39:50 UTC 
The 'MD5' used for DAAP hashing is actually not standard MD5, the algorithm was slightly modified.

From http://crazney.net/programs/itunes/authentication.html -

"Apple (obviously in a futile attempt to prevent people from reversing the algorithm) has changed one byte in the MD5 Transformation algorithm. Check out authentication/md5.c (in libopendaap) to see which one it is."

I'm wondering whether we should just drop the hashing code, since it only works with itunes 6 and earlier, and isn't needed when talking to other daap servers.
