This question relates to the command line version of cURL.

I'm trying to download a file from a cgi script.

http://someserver/perl/dl.pl?ID=2

Using a browser the filename comes up as 'remotefilename.gz' cURL wants to save the file as 'dl.pl?ID=2'

How do I get cURL to save to a file with the filename from the response header??
