Um, I am somewhat confused.  RFC 6266 says (emphasis mine):

| The Content-Disposition response header field is used to convey

This seems to be completely different then e.g. "Content-Type:
multipart/alternative" for emails.

This is not surprising, as the HTTP response status code is "302 Found",
which redirects to the URI given in the Location header field.

ACK.  However, the content that could be saved, is the payload of the
very response that contained the Content-Type header field.

Thanks for the confirmation.

[Sorry, I had to snip more of the former discussion than I liked,
because my newsserver doesn't allow too much quoted content.]
