Thank you for that flag.  I was unaware of that.
Can that flag be set as default in the wgetrc?
I have users that used the old wget to get files from our servers that needs it.

Yes, you can set |trust-server-names| in |~/.wgetrc| *but* you are reintroducing CVE-2010-2252.

It would be much better if they explicitely provided the flag (only when needed) or a filename:
 wget http://downloads.malwarebytes.org/file/mbam/ -O latest-mbam-setup.exe

Also note, they can rename index.html to mbam-setup.exe
