The hash is validated if the library can detect that validation should
be feasible. If response headers provide information to indicate that
hash validation will fail (even in the face of correct data), the hash
is not validated.
Never
The hash is never validated; data integrity errors may still be exposed
via other network layers, but there is a risk of data loss.
