You have to then update force any running http io-slave to re-read the config 
file:


for i in `dcop konqueror-*`
do 
 dcop $i KIO::Scheduler reparseSlaveConfiguration ""
done

OR use kdcop to do the same thing. 

Obviously it works for the user agent plug-in, because it issues this same 
command in the program. See
