Just tested on iOS 6 and it appears to be caching ajax requests.

Anyone got a good solution for this other than say adding some kind of time stamp to the request (have not tried yet but think it may work)

Seems setting cache control headers may be a way out: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/12506897/is-ios6-safari-caching-ajax-results

Update - Chrome on iOS 6 works fine, so seems its specific to Safari. Also seeing strange results with Safari due to cookies not being set/cleared as expected (auto login cookie)

Update: I got it sorted using the old random string / timestamp appended to URL method. Even worked for XHR file uploads which is now available in iOS 6.
