Comment:

 @rmccue  would that work for the JSON API use-case?

 I'm also not set on the wording of the error - to the extent that I'm
 considering `download_url()` might want to return a simplified error,
 something along the lines of "The download could not be verified against
 it's provided checksum". We could even just return `(bool)` from the
 function, skip a particular error message entirely.
