[erlang-questions] crypto:md5/1 vs openssl md5

[Sverker Eriksson]

Don't seem to me like "openssl md5" command expects a hexstring, but 
rather the raw data itself.


 > echo Hello > Hello
 > hexdump -C Hello
00000000  48 65 6c 6c 6f 0a                                 |Hello.|
00000006
 > cat Hello | openssl md5
