Summary: detect -O filename from last redirect

Initial Comment:
If using -O option to write output file curl tries to
detect filename immediately. Quite often the links from
download sites are intermediary and lead to some kind
of redirect script such as
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=51433. When you
try to download this link specifying -O option curl
fails with the following error.

Warning: Failed to create the file ?LinkId=51433
* Failed writing body
100 212 100 212 0 0 106 0 0:00:02
 0:00:01 0:00:01 268* Closing connection #0

Can curl detect filename from last redirect?

Thanks.
