Think a URI like this:

When saving, it would be good to use something like "Progress report of
Q1 2010" as the filename. But that's not "part of the URI" in any sense.
Note that some browsers will do weird parsing of the query params to
attempt to extract a "useful filename". That seems strictly worse than
just using Content-Disposition.
FWIW, this works in Apache, although it's not a well-known trick:
http://mysite.org/generate_progress_report.php/Progress_report_of_Q1_2010.pdf?quarter=Q12010
However, It does not solve the problem of forcing the download, which I
think is the main point of <a content-disposition>.
