Qt Webkit does not honor html cache-control metatags:
<META http-equiv="Cache-control" content="no-cache">
<META http-equiv="Pragma" content="no-cache">
<META http-equiv="Expires" content="-1">

These tags are ignored when creating http cache.
Below are some steps for reproducing this on Linux.

1. Clear any existing QtTestBrowser cache by removing the following directory:
   rm ~/.cache/Nokia/QtTestBrowser
2. Start QtTestBrowser (Tools/Scripts/run-launcher --qt)
3. Tick the Use Disk Cache option in the Settings menu.
4. Enter the following URL in the url bar and hit enter: http://jsbin.com/obilez 
   or take the attached html content, stick it on a webserver, and point QtTestBrowser at that.
5. Run the following command to show that the content was cached ("Binary file <x> matches"), despite directives that instruct the browser not to cache:
   find ~/.cache/Nokia/QtTestBrowser/data7 | xargs grep '<META http-equiv="Cache-control" content="no-cache">'
