Can some explain what the “_” value is all about? This is what fiddler is showing me for my MVC 3 page that has a jQuery ajax call on the client.
GET /Services/GetFoodDescriptionsLookup(100)?_=1291727469299 HTTP/1.1
When the URL is constructed in this fashion I don’t get back any data, but if I type
GET /Services/GetFoodDescriptionsLookup(100)
this works..
Thank you,
Stephen
It’s added by jQuery to prevent caching when
cache:falseis set. This is basically a workaround for IE’s over-eager caching that will not resubmit an AJAX GET request (unless the caching policy is extremely well-configured).
