  1. Long: remote-header-name
  2. Short: J
  3. Protocols: HTTP
  4. Help: Use the header-provided filename
  5. Category: output
  6. Example: -OJ https://example.com/file
  7. ---
  8. This option tells the --remote-name option to use the server-specified
  9. Content-Disposition filename instead of extracting a filename from the URL.
  10. If the server specifies a file name and a file with that name already exists
  11. in the current working directory it will not be overwritten and an error will
  12. occur. If the server doesn't specify a file name then this option has no
  13. effect.
  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. **WARNING**: Exercise judicious use of this option, especially on Windows. A
  17. rogue server could send you the name of a DLL or other file that could possibly
  18. be loaded automatically by Windows or some third party software.
