The -o there un-does the --remote-name and is giving an error message; drop
it. --remote-header-name will use the file name provided by the server in an
HTTP header. However, I don't see such a header in that URL, and that URL
actually doesn't look like it points to any kind of download, so it's probably
not the one you want.

Use an HTML parser.
