download file with shift-left-mouse ignores no-cache header value.  Download
with left-mouse -> download dialog obeys no-cache header.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Serve a URL pointing to a non-standard MIME type data file with no-cache
header set.
2.Shift-Left-Mouse on the URL to download to disk.
3.Change or update source file behind the no-cache URL
4.Shift-Left-Mouse on the URL to download the updated source file.


Actual Results:  
Repeatable result is the first file is cached and yielded for both download
attempts. 

Expected Results:  
Expected result is two different files. 

Avoiding the Shift key inovkes the Opening URL dialog and yields the updated
file behind the URL - This is the expected no-cache behavior.

Looks like a a dupe of Bug 130993 "shift+click to save a file saves a version
from the cache".
