I have to admit of course, that the combination of a usable  
Modify-Date and a Content-Disposition filename will be very rare "in  
the wild", but nevertheless possible. I have seen the  
Content-Disposition headers mostly when the reply data is dynamically  
generated by some web application. Currently I have not even a test  
case at hand, a few that I knew have all disappeared from the net.

I would still like to know how the flow of events is now in the cases  
that you have changed.

In my understanding the "old" logic was that wget issues a HEAD  
request in *all* cases where it needs additional info from the headers  
before the real data download starts or to decide that it does not  
need to download anything.

And now it gets this info directly from the reply headers of a GET  
request? And after having read all these headers it pauses and decides  
how to continue? And it stops reading further when it finds out that  
no real download is necessary?
