Description

If no shasum is provided the cookbook should attempt to fetch the SHASUMS.txt file, parse that file, and determine the shasum automatically. This would make it much easier to specify a version to install. We're doing this in the tomcat cookbook right now and it's working nicely.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine the existing download logic and integrate SHASUMS.txt parsing to auto detect shasum.
