Hi,

I was happy to see that a long missed future was now implemented in this alpha,
namely the interpretaion of the filename in the content dispostion header.
Just recently I had hacked a little script together to achieve this, when I
wanted to download a greater number of files where this was used  ;-)

I had a few cases, however, which did not come out as expected, but I think the
error is this time in the sending web application and not in wget.

E.g, a file which was supposed to have the name B&W.txt came with the header:
    Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=B&W.txt;

the error is definitely in the web application. the correct header would be:

Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="B&W.txt";

All programs I tried (the new wget and several browsers and my own script ;-)
seemed to stop parsing at the first semicolon and produced the filename B&amp.

Any thoughts ??

i think that the filename parsing heuristics currently implemented in wget are fine. you really can't do much better in this case.
