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 suggest a workaround to modify the function signature to be something like this:

and then always pass in a TimeStamp parameter as well, and just discard that value on the server side. This works around the issue.
