To avoid caching  one option is to give different URL for the same resource or data  To generate different URL  you can add a random query string to the end of the URL   This technique works for JQuery  Angular or other type ajax requests      myURL   myURL    random   new Date   getTime

This only line helped me  Angular 1 4 8     httpProvider defaults headers common  Pragma      no-cache     UPD  The problem is IE11 does aggressive caching  When I was looking into Fiddler I noticed that in F12 mode requests are sending  Pragma no-cache  and endpoint is requested every time I visit a page  But in normal mode endpoint was requested only once at the first time when I visited the page

This is a little bit to old but  Solutions like  is obsolete  Let the server handle the cache or not cache  in the response   The only way to guarantee no caching  thinking about new versions in production  is to change the js or css file with a version number  I do this with webpack

also you can try in your servce to set headers like for example        import   Injectable   from   angular core   import   HttpClient  HttpHeaders  HttpParams   from   angular common http         Injectable   export class MyService        private headers  HttpHeaders        constructor private http  HttpClient                     this headers   new HttpHeaders                        append  Content-Type    application json                        append  Accept    application json                        append  LanguageCulture   this headersLanguage                       append  Cache-Control    no-cache                        append  Pragma    no-cache

Instead of disabling caching for each single GET-request  I disable it globally in the  httpProvider    myModule config    httpProvider   function  httpProvider          initialize get if not there     if    httpProvider defaults headers get             httpProvider defaults headers get                             Answer edited to include suggestions from comments        because previous version of code introduced browser-related errors        disable IE ajax request caching      httpProvider defaults headers get  If-Modified-Since      Mon  26 Jul 1997 05 00 00 GMT          extra      httpProvider defaults headers get  Cache-Control      no-cache        httpProvider defaults headers get  Pragma      no-cache

You can either append a unique querystring  I believe this is what jQuery does with the cache  false option  to the request    http       url             params     foobar   new Date   getTime          A perhaps better solution is if you have access to the server  then you can make sure that necessary headers are set to prevent caching  If you re using ASP NET MVC this answer might help

Duplicating my answer in another thread   For Angular 2 and newer  the easiest way to add no-cache headers by overriding RequestOptions   import   Injectable   from   angular core   import   BaseRequestOptions  Headers   from   angular http     Injectable   export class CustomRequestOptions extends BaseRequestOptions       headers   new Headers            Cache-Control    no-cache            Pragma    no-cache            Expires    Sat  01 Jan 2000 00 00 00 GMT              And reference it in your module    NgModule               providers                          provide  RequestOptions  useClass  CustomRequestOptions

This issue is due to the IE caching problem as you said  you can test it in IE debug mode by pressing f12  this will work fine in debug mode  IE will not take the server data in each time the page calls  it takes the data from cache  To disable this do either of the following    append the following with your http service request url      Before  issued one   this httpService get this serviceUrl     eAMobileService svc ValidateEngagmentName     engagementName          After  working fine   this httpService get this serviceUrl     eAMobileService svc ValidateEngagmentName     engagementName     DateTime     new Date   getTime           cache  false      disable the cache for the entire Module  -    httpProvider defaults headers common  Pragma      no-cache

The guaranteed one that I had working was something along these lines   myModule config    httpProvider   function  httpProvider        if    httpProvider defaults headers common             httpProvider defaults headers common                  httpProvider defaults headers common  Cache-Control      no-cache        httpProvider defaults headers common Pragma    no-cache        httpProvider defaults headers common  If-Modified-Since      Mon  26 Jul 1997 05 00 00 GMT          I had to merge 2 of the above solutions in order to guarantee the correct usage for all methods  but you can replace common with get or other method i e  put  post  delete to make this work for different cases

you may add an interceptor    myModule config    httpProvider   function  httpProvider      httpProvider interceptors push  noCacheInterceptor        factory  noCacheInterceptor   function                  return                   request  function  config                        console log config method                       console log config url                       if config method   GET                            var separator   config url indexOf          -1           amp                            config url   config url separator  noCache     new Date   getTime                                              console log config method                       console log config url                       return config                                           you should remove console log lines after verifying

Try this  it worked for me in a similar case -   http get  your api url     headers         If-Modified-Since    0        Pragma    no-cache        Expires   -1       Cache-Control    no-cache  no-store  must-revalidate

Solution above will work  make the url unique by adding in the querystring a new param  but I prefer the solution propose  here   Better Way to Prevent IE Cache in AngularJS   which handle this at server level as it s not specific to IE  I mean  if that resource should not be cached  do it on the server  this as nothing to do with the browser used  it s intrisic to the resource    For example in java with JAX-RS do it programatically for JAX-RS v1 or  declativly for JAX-RS v2   I m sure anyone will figure out how to do it
