This doesn't work in many cases, it seems to just download an .html file pointing to the file you're telling it to download.
This bug really limits the utility of websave. Fixes using curl or other approaches are problematic. This is a very commonly used function (or would be if it worked) for many of us.
Please fix this bug.
