Leopard and Cache.db files



Hi,

I wonder if someone watching this list can enlighten me. Why is WebKit
storing Cache.db files in /private/var/folders?

This seems really out of place.  User specific data should be stored in a
user's home folder.  These files raise privacy concerns for many and they
like to remove them.  They should be placed in the designated Caches folder
in the user's Library folder as they have been historically.

Perhaps this is someone's idea of security through obscurity?

On the surface, this move seems really bizarre to me.


Eric
