Hi All,

I am trying to extract the file name (for the revision)
of a file with "--content-disposition".  I don't actually
want the file.

Is there a way to have wget tell me the name of the file
without actually downloading it?

Many thanks,
-T

This is what I have so far.  Tell me the file exists
but not its name.


wget --spider --content-disposition "http://www.overlooksoft.com/packages/download?plat=lx64&ext=rpm";
