Disable cache does not distinguish between local and remote files

Reported by mi...@befunky.com, Jan 18 2018

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_13_2) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/63.0.3239.132 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce the problem:
This is a feature request to distinguish between local and remote files when using the "Disable Cache" in the Network panel.

When debugging locally, re-fetching all external resources on page reload is often unnecessary (and slows down the development process), while re-fetching local resources is essential. Common examples include re-fetching fonts and media files when simply debugging local CSS & JavaScript.

Eventually, you could increase granularity to the domain level or even the file level. This would also make it easier to test how clients will react when only a subset of files are re-fetched and the others are loaded from cache, such as when a new version of a web-app is deployed.

What is the expected behavior?

What went wrong?
Disable Cache disables caching of all resources without granularity.

Did this work before? No

Thanks for considering this feature!
