We should make a distinction between a.) "Save as "  and  b.) "Save link as"

a.) is meant for stuff that we are already viewing in konqy, like source of
     HTML page or some picture on this page.
     This function should then manipulate with cache and not do any transfer.

b.) this is a well known function from e.g. netscape and it should start the
    transfer in konqy ( either start a slave or ask caitoo for doing it )

I am not saying that these two function could not be merged together into one
"Save as" method.
But IMO it would be probably good idea to keep these two separate.
