  9. This option tells the --remote-name option to use the server-specified
  10. Content-Disposition filename instead of extracting a filename from the URL.
  11. If the server specifies a file name and a file with that name already exists
  12. in the current working directory it will not be overwritten and an error will
  13. occur. If the server does not specify a file name then this option has no
  14. effect.
  15. There's no attempt to decode %-sequences (yet) in the provided file name, so
  16. this option may provide you with rather unexpected file names.
  17. **WARNING**: Exercise judicious use of this option, especially on Windows. A
  18. rogue server could send you the name of a DLL or other file that could possibly
  19. be loaded automatically by Windows or some third party software.
