with the patch, i see that kio::copy works correctly (therefore "kioclient5 
copy" correctly downloads the file) but KIO::file_copy still doesn't work 
(that's what knewstuff dialog is using).
It produces an http request with the header
If-Modified-Since:
with a past date i didn't understand yet where it comes from
to the answer will always be 304 not modified.
and the file is for sure not in cache, the end result will always be a file 0 
size.

Changing filecopyJob line 388 to
m_getJob = KIO::get(m_src, Reload, HideProgressInfo /* no GUI */);

make the download work correctly, even tough is obviously wrong, since it 
always disables the caches
