I know about this issue and it will be fixed when I get to it. If
you
want it to happen faster, please submit a patch.
Ok, I didn't know that. In the past it sounded like the current was the
intended behaviour and not subject to change. Now that I know that you
are going to do something about it, that's ok for me.
The problem is not as trivial as it sounds. For example, what are
the
original file names for the URLs
http://www.example.com/download?x=test&y=netsurf or
http://www.example.com/ ?
Well, in fact, for those cases it would be "close enough" for me if the
file name suggested was "download?x=test&y=netsurf" in the first case
and "www/example/com" (or "index/html") in the second. But of course
I
see what you mean.
