Using "Content-Disposition" in HTTP download

[dclist@gmail.com]

What is the correct way to download a file through HTTP and save it to
the file name suggested by "Content-Disposition"?

I would use urlretrieve but I'm not sure how to obtain the file name
through the HTTP headers without downloading the body (e.g.
urlopen(url).in fo()).

Perhaps something along the lines of the following?
