This option tells the --remote-name option to use the server-specified
|
|
|
|
Content-Disposition filename instead of extracting a filename from the URL.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If the server specifies a file name and a file with that name already exists
|
|
|
|
in the current working directory it will not be overwritten and an error will
|
|
|
|
occur. If the server doesn't specify a file name then this option has no
|
|
|
|
effect.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
There's no attempt to decode %-sequences (yet) in the provided file name, so
|
|
|
|
this option may provide you with rather unexpected file names.
