I was hoping you weren't going to say that... I think I'd have to
write myself a customised do-fetch: target to make that work.
Anyhow -- thought of an idea overnight. It's a terrible hack, but I
can add a dummy argument to the end of the URL which contains the
required filename...
% fetch 'http://scripts.sil.org/cms/scripts/render_download.php?site_id=
=3Dnrsi&format=3Dfile&media_id=3DGentium_101_LT&_sc=3D1&dummy=3D/fonts-ttf-=
gentium-1.0.1.tar.bz2'
fonts-ttf-gentium-1.0.1.tar.bz2 100% of 1747 kB 56 kBps=
00m00s
Seems to work...
Cheers,
Matthew
