Hi! Why isn't there any way to verify the authenticity of downloadable files, like you can do on apache.org where there are PGP hashes for each file? I know that there are MD5 sums on the website, but I can't assume that the webpage is not spoofed. There doesn't seem to be any SSL connection to the website. At least the page that gives the MD5 sums could be secure?
