Subject: bug#75585: 30.0.92; eww does not use proper file names for downloaded webpages
Date: Wed, 15 Jan 2025 09:57:25 -0500

Hello Maintainers,

I believe eww is not using proper names for downloaded webpages.

Expected Behavior: Downloaded webpages should have a filename
reflecting the full url with an .html extension.

Observed Bug:

1. When I download the page https://www.gnu.org/, eww downloads the
file without an .html extension, naming it simply as !.

2. When I download https://www.gnu.org/home.html, eww names the file
'home.html'. While the extension is correct, shouldn't the filename
reflect the full URL to avoid conflicts when downloading 'home.html'
from different sites?

Steps to Reproduce:

1. emacs --no-init
2. M-x eww
3. https://www.gnu.org/   ;; eww prompt
4. d                      ;; Downloads file !
5. G
6. https://www.gnu.org/home.html ;; eww prompt
7. d                      ;; Downloads file home.html

Please let me know if my expectation regarding the filename &
extension is incorrect.

Thank you for your time and attention.
