It will not because that private implementation filters out requests using the 
WebSettings class that maps khtml configuration information to QtWebkit. And 
that obviously does not belong in KIO. More over the set "session/request" 
meta data api is specific to how the kdewebkit uses the KIO meta data system 
and is neither needed nor necessary in a generic location like KIO.

May I ask why you wanted that to be merged ?
