Since the upgrade to iOS 6, we are seeing Safari\'s web view take the liberty of caching $.ajax
calls. This is in the context of a PhoneGap application so it is
I was able to fix my problem by using a combination of $.ajaxSetup and appending a timestamp to the url of my post (not to the post parameters/body). This based on the recommendations of previous answers
$(document).ready(function(){
$.ajaxSetup({ type:'POST', headers: {"cache-control","no-cache"}});
$('#myForm').submit(function() {
var data = $('#myForm').serialize();
var now = new Date();
var n = now.getTime();
$.ajax({
type: 'POST',
url: 'myendpoint.cfc?method=login&time='+n,
data: data,
success: function(results){
if(results.success) {
window.location = 'app.cfm';
} else {
console.log(results);
alert('login failed');
}
}
});
});
});
