Correct. It's a KIO problem because its response in this case makes no sense.

It turned out the problem is that kget is capable of exercising KIO with a combination of flags that nobody anticipated (the one I described in Comment #7). The response that _should_ be given is pretty clear: the file can't be found (since the function is instructed to check nothing but the cache although the cache is disabled). Instead it reports finding the file in the cache which of course confuses the caller (i.e. kget).

Kget is probably the only app to ever present that combination of flags. It does work once KIO throws a proper error rather than pretending a file is in the cache when said cache is disabled.
