wget filename should (optionally) not include query part of URL

[cybernet]

Binary package hint: wget

let's say i wanna install webmin
wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/webadmin/webmin/1.510/webmin_1.510-2_all.deb?use_mirror=kent
---
everything works except this->
2011-04-06 16:44:18 (188 KB/s) - `webmin_1.510-2_all.deb?use_mirror=kent' saved [14504260/14504260]

file was corectly and fully downloaded but the filename is the problem
webmin_1.510-2_all.deb?use_mirror=kent

if you could correct this in any way it would be nice, at least i won't have to rename the file everytime i download something from sourceforge or any site that uses query after file name

This bug is an upstream one and it would be quite helpful if somebody experiencing it could send the bug the to the people writing the software. You can learn more about how to do this for various upstreams at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Upstream. Thanks in advance!

Thanks for sending it upstream.

[cybernet (cybernet2u)]

this is the response i got back from Ángel González <email address hidden>

There's an option available for that: --trust-server-names

wget --trust-server-names
http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/webadmin/webmin/1.510/webmin_1.510-2_all.deb?use_mirror=kent
will give you the webmin_1.510-2_all.deb filename that you expect.
Note however that when using --trust-server-names a malicious server
could also provide you with a bad filename such as .profile which could
get executed automatically when downloaded in home.

Thanks, I'm closing the bug report then.
