Filename output in curl

How can I get the name of the default output filename from curl using the argument -O?



Using -o one can choose a filename. I want to get the name of the original file, but don't understand how to get it.


Code:
curl -o filename http://www.website.com

curl -O http://www.website.com

The only way I know is an insufficient one using the last changed file with the command ls -lat
