Patch looks good.
Caching of credentials is already implemented and should work unchanged. I wonder whether it would be a good idea *not* to store credentials supplied by request URL, though...
Small critcism: QLatin1String("") makes no sense. Just use QString() - it is a very fast constructor that only references a pre-initialized empty QString object. Converting a QLatin1String, however trivial, is more tedious for both the programmer and the computer.
Since trunk is far away from any release feel free to commit after the QString() improvement.
