Hi All,
The nice folks at OverLookSoft set this file up so that
it will download automatically with
wget http://www.overlooksoft.com/packages/download?plat=lx64&ext=rpm
It get a file called: download?plat=lx64&ext=rpm
Firefox does resolve this. What am I doing wrong with
wget?
Many thanks,

Hi Steven,
Firefox sees the same thing, but resolves it to a real file
name. I am trying to duplicate that with wget.
Yeah, wget isn't that smart... I've never figured it out - When I know
the filename, I just use the -O filename option to override the output
file...
Try:
wget --content-disposition
"http://www.overlooksoft.com/packages/download?plat=lx64&ext=rpm";
The --content-disposition flag causes wget to use the filename provided
by the Content-Disposition HTTP header, if any. It's experimental and
apparently doesn't always work, but in this case, it worked for me. The
man page for wget says:
--content-disposition If this is set to on, experimental (not
fully-functional) support for "Content-Disposition" headers is
enabled. This can currently result in extra round-trips to the server
for a "HEAD" request, and is known to suffer from a few bugs, which
is why it is not currently enabled by default.
This option is useful for some file-downloading CGI programs that use
"Content-Disposition" headers to describe what the name of a
downloaded file should be.
