Question

I have a Rest service and i would like to consume it using jquery ajax. But i have a problem on ajax not loading the updated one because it stores the cache.

So after googling i have found that the possible solution to my problem is cache busting or adding cache:false on my code. Based from what i know it adds a ?_=time on the URL. But my concern is when i actually make a get request since GET request appends the Parameter to the URL will it affect? because i have this on my Rest

[OperationContract]
[WebGet ( URITemplate = "getsomething/{parameter}", ResponseFormat = WebMessageFormat.Json)]
public Sample GetSomething ( string parameter )

Do i have to alter my Rest if i were to enable cache busting? Thank you.

UPDATE

How about PUT or POST Method? i know that PUT or POST doesn’t append the parameter on the URL so i think it might work but do i still have to configure or alter my Rest service?

Answer 1

cache:false will only add the timestamp querystring to the URL, it will not affect your current querystring variables.
