Error description
The checksum method returned by the MFT transfer REST API is "MD5", for example: "source": { "checksum": { "method": "MD5", "value": "98D6DABD4648B4B33538776907BEDF16" }, It should be lower case, "md5". That's consistent with the guidelines of returning acronyms in lower case in the REST API.
Local fix
