How to control cache-control in ajax request

Question

This might be a stupid question, but I searched a lot without any result. I know how to setup cache-control in server responses, but how can I change the cache control value

Answer 1

You can use headers property, like this:

$.ajax({
...
headers: {
     'Cache-Control': 'max-age=1000' 
}
...
});

Keep in mind that cache property has nothing in common with Cache-Control header, it's just a cache buster (appending ?_={timestamp} to GET parameters) and will only work correctly with GET and HEAD requests.

Anyway, something useful: How to set HTTP headers (for cache-control)?
