This is with an implementation of HTTP Signatures in fedi. Just as I was looking into someone asking help on implementing HTTP Signatures, I notice the library they pull in doesn’t even validate the digest, just if the signature is valid and nothing else.
This is also why I hate the mentality of “well, surely other people out there are more responsible and educated than me on this domain-specific knowledge, so I’ll just import this random library that seems popular enough”.
