Hi @tiamed, thanks for reporting! What version of curl do you have on that machine? It looks like it's an older one that doesn't support the filename_effective variable. Is it possible with CentOS 6 to upgrade the version (I know the package repos for CentOS 6 are themselves locked to older versions, mostly curious if it's possible that machine has an even older one).

If it's not, we may need to investigate a different solution for getting the filename from curl on older systems like CentOS 6.
