I'm confused as to why the following return separate sHA1s
$ perl -MDigest::SHA1 -E'say Digest::SHA1::sha1_hex("http://i.aultec.com/v/8066/Originals/1FTVX12585NA9832010.jpg");'
e1133fa3b7ea0bfb8ffa4d877932ed6c6fa10cef
$ echo "http://i.aultec.com/v/8066/Originals/1FTVX12585NA9832010.jpg" | sha1sum
5c3731e83ae0184ed93b595b9f5604863dd331e6 -
Which one is right? Am /I/ doing it wrong?
$ perl -MDigest::SHA -E'say Digest::SHA::sha1_hex("http://i.aultec.com/v/8066/Originals/1FTVX12585NA9832010.jpg");'
e1133fa3b7ea0bfb8ffa4d877932ed6c6fa10cef
You can see the digest is right in the successor (Digest::SHA
)
Both are right. Your echo command includes a newline at the end. (and the perl string doesn't) Try with echo -n ...
Perl is giving you the hash of the literal string you entered, whereas echo is appending a newline. If you tell echo
to not add a newline, you'll get the same result:
drewfus:~$ perl -MDigest::SHA1 -E'say Digest::SHA1::sha1_hex("foo");'
0beec7b5ea3f0fdbc95d0dd47f3c5bc275da8a33
drewfus:~$ echo -n "foo" | sha1sum
0beec7b5ea3f0fdbc95d0dd47f3c5bc275da8a33 -
This is such a frequent mistake and I've made it many times. The echo command is also returning a newline.
