      1 Long: remote-header-name
      2 Short: J
      3 Protocols: HTTP
      4 Help: Use the header-provided filename
      5 ---
      6 This option tells the --remote-name option to use the server-specified
      7 Content-Disposition filename instead of extracting a filename from the URL.

      9 If the server specifies a file name and a file with that name already exists
     10 in the current working directory it will not be overwritten and an error will
     11 occur. If the server doesn't specify a file name then this option has no
     12 effect.
     13 
     14 There's no attempt to decode %-sequences (yet) in the provided file name, so
     15 this option may provide you with rather unexpected file names.
     16 
     17 \fBWARNING\fP: Exercise judicious use of this option, especially on Windows. A
     18 rogue server could send you the name of a DLL or other file that could possibly
     19 be loaded automatically by Windows or some third party software.
