Summary: redirect URL causes curl to save to wrong filename

Initial Comment:
 curl -LO http://pl2.php.net/get/php-5.2.13.tar.gz/from/pl.php.net/mirror
causes the downloaded file to be named "mirror", whereas wget saves it to php-5.2.13.tar.gz correctly.

Curl is maybe fixing the name too early in the redirect process.

Message:
-O is documented to work this way, and it works as intended. It is made to
not present any surprises so that you can know beforehand what file name
the end result will be saved as. Saying that wget acts "correctly" in the
same aspect is incorrect. It is a different tool with a different feature,
although rather similar.

If you want curl to use the filename as passed in the Content-Disposition:
headers you should use -J in addition to -O.
