Re: [Bug-wget] Wget regression - now defaults to saving file as original link name instead of correct file name after redirect!

[Paul Wratt]

then does it not make more sense to reversion everything after 1.12
(or from next release) "wget v2" as there are also other changes which
break 10 years of consistant wget script usage

I understand the need for a lot of these changes, but combined they
serverly affect wgets default behavior, and the docs do not reflect
this (yet?)

btw thanks for indicating what option restores previous behaviour, I
would never have figured that one out
