I would like to compute the MD5 hash of a file

The file is uploaded to my web serverwebserver by my clients The file is uploaded in pieces (called as chunks) The client also sends the md5 hash of the file so that the file integrity could be verified

The chunks can come in any random order. (The first chunk doesn't always have to come first) The MyMy web server stores the chunks in a persistence storage.

Is it possible for me to compute the hash (or any digest) of the individual chunks and arrive at the hash of the file?
