It's been a week or so since I used it, but as I recall,
CERN's web page/E-mail fetch daemon returns the FULL
URL in addition to page content both for "send" and "deep"
command responses.

ALSO an http get+save of a document should at least have the
option of rename/redirect (a-la-Omni) i.e. via Save panel.

It SHOULD be possible to ncftp with -c (cat) and redirect to
the "more descriptive name", for example, from commandline
for Bill's convenience. Would require the appropriate
verbosity.
