Curious behavior with -c and --content-disposition

[Hanno Böck]

Hi,

I noticed an odd behavior with wget.
When trying to download a github URL with -c and --content-disposition
it seems on some intermediate URL (github does multiple redirects) it
will truncate the URL and subsequently fail.
I think this is probably somehow because it wants to use the long URL
as a filename, but as this is only an intermediate URL and not the
final filename this shouldn't be a problem.

Reproduce:
wget --content-disposition -c
