    Description

      At the beginning, QNetworkDiskCache was designed for storing Set-Cookie headers.
      but there was a bug about working the method because of no slot for it.
      It is already fixed recently (QTBUG-41514). BTW, I'm not sure that it has no security problem to store Set-Cookie headers.
      The cookies may contain sensitive information! and It seems that other browsers(Chrome,Chromium,FireFox) don't store Set-Cookie header information in disk-cache.
      I thought it has security problem to store Set-Cookie headers.
      How do you think about this one?

      I Attached the patch not to store and use Set-Cookie headers in disk-cache(with auto test changes).
      Let me know your opinion.
