Summary: Output File Naming Problems 


Initial Comment:
The url input isn't fully parsed and analysed

eg.


http://www.real.com/realcom/R?href=http://forms.real.com/real/player/download.html?f=unix/RealPlayer11GOLD.bin


Will be named as R not RealPlayer11GOLD.bin

Message:
The example URL is leads to a number of redirects that end in
http://software-dl.real.com/1538717227ccb424b022/unix/RealPlayer11GOLD.bin

By chance, the real (no pun intended) URL seems to be encoded in the GET parameter in the original URL. Axel correctly throws away the unpredictable GET parameter stuff after "?". However, what we could do to fix this problem is name the file after the result of the redirects. As I'm looking into the redirect system anyway, I'll see what can be done.
