I want to download a file from a specific url, the file will change extension, but not name, and I want the same download command to be able to download the file no matter what the file extension is.
I have tried wget in powershell, ex:
wget example.com/test/file
This gets the file, but only doesn't download it to a file. I can use this:
wget example.com/test/file -OutFile file
But this doesn't add the file extension.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

1Is the file extension one of a set of known extensions? Does the web server have directory browsing enabled so you can see the latest filename? – HelpingHand – 2018-09-01T00:29:56.493
Directory browsing is enabled, and it would be ideal to have it work with any extension, but .exe, .bat, and .png are the set that I would like to at least have. – INTENSEFIRE – 2018-09-01T03:58:54.090
Well you could use this approach: https://pastebin.com/feRb67eD it tries each of the array of extensions in turn, so you could add to that list.
