You could use SoupLogger (or just iterate through the headers yourself)
to see if there's some other header with that information. But the
general answer is that servers aren't required to send
Content-Disposition or any equivalent data, so if it's not there, then
it's just not there.

I assume you're using some sort of API to figure out what the URL to
download the attachment is? If so, there may be some other way within
the API to get this information.
