How can I obtain the name of the file that links like the following will download?
http://www.cambridge.org/download_file/464122
With a web browser this URL responds with the filename ready to download and save. With MATLAB’s websave, webwrite, urlwrite you have to provide the filename in advance and have no way to know the filename or extension.
