isync has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:
Hi there!
Are there any caveats in hashing http://www.somesite.com/ urls with with the adler-32 checksum algorithm?
Can I expect a unique hash for each unique url - in other words: will adler32 generate checksums that correspond to just this specific url or will it (in few cases) generate the same checksum for two different urls?
Thanks!
