# `--remote-header-name`
This option tells the --remote-name option to use the server-specified
Content-Disposition filename instead of extracting a filename from the URL. If
the server-provided filename contains a path, that is stripped off before the
filename is used.
The file is saved in the current directory, or in the directory specified with
--output-dir.
If the server specifies a filename and a file with that name already exists in
the destination directory, it is not overwritten and an error occurs - unless
you allow it by using the --clobber option. If the server does not specify a
filename then this option has no effect.
There is no attempt to decode %-sequences (yet) in the provided filename, so
this option may provide you with rather unexpected filenames.
This feature uses the name from the `filename` field, it does not yet support
the `filename*` field (filenames with explicit character sets).
**WARNING**: Exercise judicious use of this option, especially on Windows. A
rogue server could send you the name of a DLL or other file that could be
loaded automatically by Windows or some third party software.
