Research direction
Reproduce both Invoke-WebRequest examples and inspect the Invoke-WebRequest entry point's handling of the Content-Disposition header. Done means a download targeting ./ derives OpenSSH-Win32.zip from the header while an explicit output path continues to work, with coverage for both cases.
