If you want add a timestamp to every request from browser to jenkins server. You can refer to the jenkins crumb issuer mechanism, and you can hack the /scripts/hudson-behavior.js add modify here. so it will transform a timestamp to server.

    /**
     * Puts a hidden input field to the form so that the form submission will have the crumb value
     */
    appendToForm : function(form) {
        // add here. ..... you code
        if(this.fieldName==null)    return; // noop
        var div = document.createElement("div");
        div.innerHTML = "";
        form.appendChild(div);
    }
