Recent versions of libsoup remove any file in cache dir not referenced by the index when the cache is loaded to workaround leaked resources when load/dump is unbalanced for whatever reason like a crash. We currently use $XDG_CACHE_HOME/app-name as default disk cache directory, but that directory could be used by apps to cache other things, and the soup cache might end up deleting other stuff. The soup cache assumes the given directory is only for the disk cache, so we should ensure that. See https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=667682.
