Thanks, fixed. Funny how the brain switches into mechanical pattern matching and then the matching isn't all that great :-)

@wangweij 

I initially removed this code, then restored it because I thought the original author might have intended to future-proof the test. It also serves as a sort of documentation of the implicit assumtions the test makes about the permitted state of digest algorithms in the JVM.

I have now instead added a method which explicitly asserts that MD5 is disabled and SHA256 is permitted in the very beginning of the test. This way the assumtions are made clear and the test will fail clear and loudly should these assumtions fail in the future.

What do you think of this update?
