Nodejs crypto OpenSSL version about hash-files

The algorithm should be platform agnostic and should produce the same hash given that the string you are hashing is the same on each platform. With that said, the answers to this SO question may shed some light as to why the input string might be different on various platforms.

You need to make sure that all platforms are encoding the password the same way (i.e. ISO-8859-1 vs. UTF-8 vs. UTF-16 vs. UTF-8 with BOM...), and if anything's added (like the newline) it should be consistent (e.g. Windows tends to use CRLF at the end of lines, instead of just LF...).

Thanks for the info @mac- still looking into the underlying issue.
