Description Patrizio Bruno 2004-11-06 10:49:15 UTC

Version:           3.3 (using KDE 3.3.1,  (3.1))
Compiler:          gcc version 3.3.5 (Debian 1:3.3.5-2)
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.8.1

when trying to access a remote file/objects such a movie, an application, whatever... konqueror asks if the user want to open the object or save it. When the "Open with..." action is choosed the file is downloaded in a temporary storage and deleted after it has been used. This means that everytime we access that objects, even if only few seconds are after the first time, even if the object is an huge divx, the user must wait that konqueror/kfile/khttp download it again. Why don't cache every remotely opened object as every html page?

Probably because when you're working with remote files the remote file could change and keeping it in sync with a local cache would be quite problematic.

Anyway moved to "kio".

I think this is a wontfix anyway.

16 years later: I think so too.
