[plt-scheme] FFI and MD5

Well, that's a Unicode string, and if it is encoded as UTF-8, then it's not surprising that the likes of 1d are encoded a single bytes, but higher valued codepoints are encoded as multiple bytes. Just a guess.

Hi all,

I am attempting to use the FFI to get to the MD5 component of libcrypto.
As far as I can tell, I am getting the wrong results - or perhaps rather unexpected results.

The test suite for (lib "md5.ss") is as follows:

(test #"d41d8cd98f00b204e9800998ecf8427e" md5 #"") (test #"0cc175b9c0f1b6a831c399e269772661" md5 #"a") (test #"900150983cd24fb0d6963f7d28e17f72" md5 #"abc") (test #"f96b697d7cb7938d525a2f31aaf161d0" md5 #"message digest") (test #"c3fcd3d76192e4007dfb496cca67e13b" md5
       #"abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz")
(test #"d174ab98d277d9f5a5611c2c9f419d9f" md5
       #"ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789")
(test #"57edf4a22be3c955ac49da2e2107b67a" md5
#"12345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890")


So the message digest (the md) of #"" is #"d41d8cd98f00b204e9800998ecf8427e".


The signature of MD5 is describere in
    <http://www.openssl.org/docs/crypto/md5.html#>
as

    unsigned char *MD5(const unsigned char *d, unsigned long n,
                       unsigned char *md);

Note, that if md=NULL, then the message digest is stored
in a static array, so no allocation is neccessary (since
I'll copy the result afterwards).

However, I get:

 > (md5 #"")
"Ô\u001D\u008CÙ\u008F\u0000\u00B2\u0004é\u0080\t\u0098ìøB~"

 > (md5-attempt2 #"")
"Ô\u001D\u008CÙ\u008F\u0000\u00B2\u0004é\u0080\t\u0098ìøB~"


I suspect I have made an obvious mistake, but I can't
spot it. Any ideas?

       (MD5 d md)
