Any reason why 'websave' adds a '.html' to the name of the output file?

I'm downloading coronavirus data from John Hopkins University github. I use websave as recomended. No matter what I do, the saved file has a '.html' added after the '.csv'. My code is as follows:

url= 'https://github.com/CSSEGISandData/COVID-19/tree/master/csse_covid_19_data/csse_covid_19_time_series/';
fileinf= 'time_series_covid19_confirmed_global.csv';
websave(fileinf,url);

The file that is saved has name:

time_series_covid19_confirmed_global.csv.html

Any solutions?

Thanks

Because URL you mentioned corresponds to a webpage, not a CSV file.

Try the following code.

url = 'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/CSSEGISandData/COVID-19/master/csse_covid_19_data/csse_covid_19_time_series/time_series_covid19_confirmed_global.csv';
fileinf= 'time_series_covid19_confirmed_global.csv';
websave(fileinf,url);

The reason is that: In the websave function file, the URL whoe extension is not "html" is taken as "The filename does not have an extension", so "html" will be added. If changing "||" in Line 124 in websave file to "&&", "html" will be not added any more.
