IE8 is still caching my requests even with mathrandom.
- by Ozaki
TLDR IE is still caching my requests even with Math.random() included in the URL.
So I added math random onto the end of my url:
var MYKMLURL = 'http://' + host + 'data/pattern?key='+ Math.random();
I also added math random onto my function param:
window.setTimeout(RefreshPatternData, 1000, MYKMLLAYER);
function RefreshPatternData(layer) {
layer.loaded = false;
layer.setVisibility(true);
layer.refresh({ force: true, params: { 'key': Math.random()} });
setTimeout(RefreshPatternData, 30000, MYKMLLAYER);
}
So the request appears as http://host/data/pattern?key=35678652545 etc.
It changes everytime the request is made.
It works in Firefox & Chrome & Safari etc. But IE8 is still caching the data and not updating my layer.
Any ideas as to why this might be occuring?
