Cool, I'm doing the same basically! (except maybe not simple :P)
Is your code available somewhere?

For temporary files: It depends what you mean exactly, but for things
like favicons/page cache/HTML5 storage/..., you simply need to do
something like:

    QWebSettings.globalSettings().setLocalStoragePath('/some/path')

See:

http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-4.8/qwebsettings.html#globalSettings
http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-4.8/qwebsettings.html#setLocalStoragePath


If you want caching of web content, it'll be a bit more complicated
though, I think you need to subclass QNetworkAccessManager and use a
QNetworkDiskCache.


For Cookies, you need to subclass QNetworkCookieJar and add some way
to save and load cookies.

Example:

http://git.the-compiler.org/qutebrowser/tree/qutebrowser/browser/cookies.py


I'd really like to hear more of your project! You can reach me under
this address via mail or Jabber, or in IRC (#pyqt on Freenode for
example).

Florian
