"Disable cache" still caches 301 redirects

Reported by so.ooste...@gmail.com, Oct 24 2017

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/62.0.3202.62 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Select "Disable cache" in the network console
2. Open a URL that 301 redirects
3. Now make that URL not 301 redirect, but show a webpage

What is the expected behavior?
The URL should show the webpage, as caching is disabled

What went wrong?
Chrome still 301 redirects the page, when opening the URL it literally shows "Status Code:301 Moved Permanently (from disk cache)"

Did this work before? N/A 

Chrome version: 62.0.3202.62  Channel: stable
OS Version: Linux Mint 18.2 Sonya
Flash Version: -

Since cache is disabled, it should not use cache, that is what I would expect when selecting "disable cache" so that I can easily debug. I was debugging a redirect issue for about 30 minutes and banging my head in the wall because it kept redirecting until I removed all possible redirects and it was still redirecting. Then checking chrome for details I found it was coming from the cache I had disabled. Opening the same page in an incognito window showed the page correctly.

The option "disable cache" is there so that I can easily debug. If I still have to manually clear cache even though I have the cache disabled, it kind of loses it meaning and it confuses.
