How to set cache false in jQuery get call

Question

jQuery get   is a shorthand for jQuery ajax   with a get call   But when I set cache false in the data of the  get   call  what is sent to the server is a parameter called cache with a value of false  While my intention is to send a timestamp with the data to the server to prevent caching which is what happens if I use cache  false in jQuery ajax data  How do I accomplish this without rewriting my jQuery get calls to jQuery ajax calls or using     ajaxSetup          Disable caching of AJAX responses     cache  false       update  Thanks everyone for the answers  You are all correct   However  I was hoping that there was a way to let the get call know that you do not want to cache  or send that value to the underlying  ajax   so it would know what to do with it   I a  looking for a fourth way other than the three ways that have been identified so far    Doing it globally via ajaxSetup Using a  ajax call instead of a  get call Doing it manually by adding a new parameter holding a timestamp to your  get call    I just thought that this capability should be built into the  get call

Note that callback syntax is deprecated      Deprecation Notice      The jqXHR success    jqXHR error    and jqXHR complete   callback   methods introduced in jQuery 1 5 are deprecated as of jQuery 1 8  To   prepare your code for their eventual removal  use jqXHR done      jqXHR fail    and jqXHR always   instead    Here a modernized solution using the promise interface    ajax  url         cache  false   done function  data            data contains result    fail function err          error

Per the JQuery documentation   get   only takes the url  data  content   dataType  and success callback as its parameters  What you re really looking to do here is modify the jqXHR object before it gets sent  With  ajax    this is done with the beforeSend   method  But since  get   is a shortcut  it doesn t allow it   It should be relatively easy to switch your  ajax   calls to  get   calls though  After all   get   is just a subset of  ajax    so you can probably use all the default values for  ajax    except  of course  for beforeSend      Edit     Looks at Jivings  answer    Oh yeah  forgot about the cache parameter  While beforeSend   is useful for adding other headers  the built-in cache parameter is far simpler here

I think you have to use the AJAX method instead which allows you to turn caching off     ajax     url   test html     data   foo     success  function        alert  bar           cache  false

To me  the correct way of doing it would be the ones listed   Either ajax or ajaxSetup   If you really want to use get and not use ajaxSetup then you could create your own parameter and give it the value of the the current date time   I would however question your motives in not using one of the other methods

I m very late in the game  but this might help others  I hit this same problem with   get and I didn t want to blindly turn off caching and I didn t like the timestamp patch  So after a little research I found that you can simply use   post instead of   get which does NOT use caching   Simple as that
