    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
   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.
