get_url: accepting sha1 checksums

Hi all,

Is there any reasons why get_url does not accept sha1 checksums and only accept sha256sum ?
The reason behind this is, that i tried seting up the ELK stack and they provide sha1 checksums on the site. So i found it a bit un-automatic having to download the file localy, verify, generate the sha256sum and add that to the get_url arguments.

Cheers,
Mike

There's no set reason. There is an open pull request to add support
for additional hashes:
https://github.com/ansible/ansible-modules-core/pull/141

I've reviewed it -- it needs some revisions and then could be merged.
I don't have time before v2 to make the revisions myself but perhaps
someone else could address the concerns I raised and move it forward?
