http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/wget.git/commit/?id=d03b40e31e9aa06669c3ae0113ed24273e1b60e5 fixed #44628 by supporting `filename*`.

It also introduced a new test:

```
{ "filename**0=\"A\"; filename**1=\"A.ext\"; filename*0=\"B\";\
+filename*1=\"B\"", "AA.ext", true },
   };
```

This seems to be an attempt at implementing parameter continuations. Parameter continuations are specified by [RFC 2231, section 4.1](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2231#section-4.1). The following example is given (edited with [errata](https://www.rfc-editor.org/errata/rfc2231)):

```
   Content-Type: application/x-stuff;
    title*0*=us-ascii'en'This%20is%20even%20more%20
    title*1*=%2A%2A%2Afun%2A%2A%2A%20
    title*2="isn't it!"
```

This shows two things:

1. The test should be `filename*0*=` instead of `filename**0=`.
2. When `filename*=` is used, the value should start with `encoding'language'` (this is "ext-value" from RFC 5987). In practice some servers neglect to send this prefix, so to be fault-tolerant it is okay to treat a missing prefix as if the prefix was `''`.

This bug report is opened to suggest that 1 should be fixed.
