Description

A hashing method that changes a string (like a URL) into a hash suitable for using as a disk filename.

import java.security.NoSuchAlgorithmException;

public class Main {
    /**//  w  ww  . j  a va2s .  com
     * A hashing method that changes a string (like a URL) into a hash suitable for using as a

        } catch (NoSuchAlgorithmException e) {
            cacheKey = String.valueOf(key.hashCode());
        }

        }
        return result;
    }
