SUMMARY In the FAQ 12.4. https://docs.kde.org/stable5/en/konqueror/konqueror/faq.html#idm3234 "If you select Web Browsing → Cache in the dialog launched by selecting Settings → Configure Konqueror... , you will be presented with a dialog box that lets you disable the cache, clear it or set its size, and change the caching policy" Is my installation broken or does this section no longer exist? If the latter: Where are users supposed to set cache settings for kio-http?

I guess this was done because there was (almost) no other application using it except Konqueror; however, since Konqueror switched to QtWebEngine as default engine, those settings were ignored (there's no way to force QtWebEngine to use kio). I've written a replacement dialog page for Konqueror itself and it should be in the 23.04 release (see https://invent.kde.org/network/konqueror/-/merge_requests/134).
Ah I see. Thank you for the quick reply. The "wallpaper/picture of the day" also still uses it. 8 months of wallpapers makes the cache pretty big. A way to configure it would still be useful I think. kio_http_cache_cleaner apparently runs on my install but it doesn't seem to do anything. If I use it to query cache contents I can see an expiry date from last year on most items. (I guess that is a different topic/bug report though)
