[issue16059] Serialize MD5 computation-state and resume later

[Christian Heimes]

Christian Heimes added the comment:

I don't think it's possible to serialize an crypto hash object like MD5. The internal states of those objects are opaque data structures. There is no way official way to access the data structures in a platform independent way.

It *might* be possible to hack something for our own implementation of md5 but definitely not for OpenSSL's implementation.
