[Bug-wget] wget and filename redirection

Hi,

A newbie question.

Does wget have the feature to follow filename redirection?

Meaning of filename redirection is, a website
http://example.com/download/latest will always redirect to the latest file
URL, such as http://example.com/download/apps-1.2.3.tar.gz , but wget will
save the file as "latest" .

Is there a way to save the file according to the name it redirects to? If
the feature is not available, I would really appreciate if it could be
implemented.

Thanks.
