Comment:

 Needs patch, anyone feel like whipping up something which does:
 * Separate function
 * Accepts md5 or base64(md5_raw) - Check the string length, md5 = 32,
 base64(md5_raw) = 24
 * Accepts filename
 * returns a error w/ the octal values
 * performs least amount of calculations in the most-used path
 * performs the check in download_url() if the header is present.
