I think you have already resolved your issue, but let me share an idea about web caching.

It is true you can add many headers in each language you use, server side, client side, and you can use many other tricks to avoid web caching, but always think that you can never know from where the client are connecting to your server, you never know if he are using a Hotel “Hot-Spot” connection that uses Squid or other caching products.

If the users are using proxy to hide his real position, etc… the real only way to avoid caching is the timestamp in the request also if is unused.

For example:

/ajax_helper.php?ts=3211321456

Then every cache manager you have to pass didnt find the same URL in the cache repository and go re-download the page content.
