curl unescape output file name
if URL has %20 in file name, specify -O will keep it, while space is preferred.
libcurl has curl_easy_unescape, but the curl binary in bash doesn't seem to have an easy way to unescape output file name. However, wget does unescape by default.
currently I extract file name from url, unescape it, then use -o.
I would like to know if an easier/builtin way exists.

No, unfortunately there's currently no way to tell curl to URL decode the file name -O creates. It feels like a good idea to offer in the future...
