You can store data from CGIs without that.

Let's not take things out of context. curl's -O option gets its local file
name from the given URL. Not from any header from the remote server. That is a
design decision and it won't be changed.
curl sends back the content-disposition header, you can extract whatever info
you want from it.

Yes. Read the sources and you'll find out why. Try the lib/formdata.c file.
