           Summary: [Qt] Enable Netscape plugin metadata caching on Linux
                    should not be set in
                    QWebSettings::enablePersistentStorage
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P1
         Component: WebKit Qt
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: david.leong at nokia.com


Currently calling QWebSettings::enablePersistentStorage() function also calls setPersistentMetadataCacheEnabled(true); and setPersistentMetadataCachePath(storagePath); This functionality ties the persistant storage path with the plugin database path. 

Users may want to set a unique persistant path for different origins. Doing so will nullify the usefulness of the plugin cache. The plugin cache should be unique and sharable across the entire system.

Can we change the plugin cache functionality from the persistent storage path and add a new internal API to set the plugin database path.
