Re: [Feature Request] Use checksum to verify download

I've created a prototype to check the API and behavior (https://github.com/falk-werner/fetch) and I've encountered all the things you mentioned: the download must be buffered in a separate file, the checksum must be computed during download, all data must be printed to stdout after successful check and the temporary file must finally be removed.

That's a script you could write. Schematically:
     if curl ... | tee temp-file | checksum
         then rename temp-file
         else delete temp-file
