In that case, in the absence of a filename in the redirected
location, freenet should fallback to the originally suggested one.

(On a not entirely unrelated note, is it possible to disable fproxy's
warning about "dangerous" mimetypes (pdfs, zips, etc) -- maybe have a
"do not warn me again" button -- since, again, it breaks wget. Or at
least issue an appropriate HTTP response code like "permission denied"
or something so wget doesn't think that the fproxy html warning page is
the actual pdf file. Fproxy should be an http proxy, not a browser
ui :P.)
