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,

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";
Spider mode enabled. Check if remote file exists.

Not sure if wget got a similar feature. I just happen to like curl
slightly better.

Hi David,
I must be missing something. Don't see the name anywhere.
And, can't figure out why I get something different with
the AWK pipe.

Odd! You get "403 Forbidden". I don't get that from my Fedora 19 box:
$ curl -I 'http://www.overlooksoft.com/packages/download?plat=lx64&ext=rpm'
HTTP/1.1 200 OK

Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="overlook-fing-2.2.rpm"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary

However on a SL6.5 box, I do get "403 Forbidden".
I tried changing the User-Agent string, and that helped. Seems some
curl versions have been banned on that site.
Pick a user-agent string from here:
<http://www.useragentstring.com/pages/Firefox/>
And run curl with '-A $USERAGENT' ... that should fix it.

Hi David,
curl --user-agent "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:25.0)
Gecko/20100101 Firefox/25.0" -I
'http://www.overlooksoft.com/packages/download?plat=lx64&ext=rpm' 2>&1 |
grep -i "Content-Disposition" | awk -F '"' '{print $2}'
overlook-fing-2.2.rpm
Did the trick!
Thank you for helping me with this.
