I'm wrestling with the urlretrieve function in the urllib module. I
want to download a file from a web server and save it locally with the
same name. The problem is the URL - it's on the form
http://www.page.com/?download=12345. It doesn't reveal the file name.
Some hints to point me in the right direction are greatly appreciated.

The file name *may* come in the Content-Disposition header (ex: Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="budget.xls") Use urlopen to obtain a file-like object; its info() method gives you those headers.
