Lua Hashing Functions

Added in VPOP3 8.7

Four functions have been added to perform hash algorithms on a text string

• VPOP3.SHA1(string)
• VPOP3.SHA256(string)
• VPOP3.SHA512(string)
• VPOP3.MD5(string)

All functions take a string parameter, and return a table of numbers containing the hash value (one byte per table entry). The length of the returned table are:

• SHA1 - 20 bytes
• SHA256 - 32 bytes
• SHA512 - 64 bytes
• MD5 - 16 bytes

If there is an error, the returned table is empty
