wget didn't always support Content-Disposition. When support was added,
it was flagged as "experimental" and thus disabled by default. From the
man page:

       --content-disposition
           If this is set to on, experimental (not fully-functional) support for
           "Content-Disposition" headers is enabled. This can
currently result in
           extra round-trips to the server for a "HEAD" request, and is known to
           suffer from a few bugs, which is why it is not currently enabled by
           default.

I wouldn't call wget "broken" because of that. But, that's my opinion,
plenty of room for others...
