Not arguing with your goals but '?' is unfortunately reasonably easy to get into a filename. For instance, I've had to download a lot of scratch built packages from our buildsystem recently. Scratch builds have url's with query strings in them so::
wget 'http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/getfile?taskID=1318059&name=monodevelop-debugger-gdb-2.0-1.1.i586.rpm' Which results in the filename: getfile?taskID=1318059&name=monodevelop-debugger-gdb-2.0-1.1.i586.rpm -Toshio
