The problem is that QTemporaryFile::close() does not actually close the file.
So if this is a problem on Windows, something other than K/QTemporaryFile needs to be used. Probably a cache file like KCal's remote resource or not using KIO::NetAccess but KIO::storedPut, in which case the vcards can probably be directly serialized into a QBuffer
