Bug Description

It should be possible to verify a download against a checksum or GPG signature.

Implementation: A new "Verify file integrity..." item should be added to the file list popup menu. It will prompt a dialog box where the user can input either a URL or the text of the checksum/signature.

The options should be:

Autodetect
MD5
SHA-1
SHA-256
SFV
GPG

Midori recognizes "link fingerprints" with MD5 and SHA1, although they're not widely supported as of now. The syntax makes use of the fragment of the URI:
