           Summary: Does not use correct file name with Content-Disposition
                    headers.
           Product: kget
           Version: 0.8.5
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kget kde org
        ReportedBy: boards gmail com


Version:           0.8.5 (using KDE KDE 3.5.2)
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages
OS:                Linux

When a downloaded file is attached via a method such as sending the HTTP headers "Content-Disposition: (attached|inline);filename=foo.torrent;other-information" as specified in RFC 2183, it saves the file as the URL's name instead of the filename from the headers.  A common usage of this method is on torrent sites that send torrents as attachments via some download.php?id=12345 method.  My guess is that it allows for customised torrent files using a user-specific announce URL (typically to keep track of a user's up:down ratio).  It also allows for obfuscation of the URL to prevent direct linking to a specific mirror so that the best mirror is chosen for everyone who visits that page.
