Prevent iOS 6 from Caching Ajax POST Requests

Is Safari on iOS 6 caching $.ajax results?

I have a hybrid application using PhoneGap that runs fine on Android and iOS. But when I started testing in iOS 6 I noticed that I am not getting server data for most of my ajax calls - instead I was getting the cached data from previous ajax calls.

So far I have tried the following options to disable cache -

  1. Include a timestamp as query string parameter
  2. $.ajaxSetup({ cache: false });
  3. Inside the ajax call no-cache = true
  4. $.ajaxPrefilter(function (options, originalOptions, jqXHR) { options.data = jQuery.param($.extend(originalOptions.data||{}, { timeStamp: new Date().getTime() })); });

But none of these seems to be working. I am invoke Java action classes from my ajax calls - will it have something to do with the reason why the methods listed above are failing?

    You could disable the caching on webserver level and by using timestamps in the URL.
