1.1       misho       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.
                      8: 
                      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

                     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.
