Is it possible to determine if a response returned by $.ajax was served from the browser’s cache or was fresh?
Thanks.

No, that’s not possible. What you can do is to create a new URL every time (eg: by appending a random string to the URL, which is ignored by the script on the server), or by setting the response’s cache headers appropriately.
See: http://www.mnot.net/cache_docs/#CACHE-CONTROL
You might want to set
max-age,no-store,no-cache,must-revalidateor a combination of the previous.
