Hello,

I am making a game that gets data from a server. I use AJAX to get it and read it.

After I edit the file on the server, it takes a few minutes for the game (in browser) to read it (I re-run the project after a few minutes). After exporting to Android, it didn't read the updated file until I cleared the cache manually from the Settings.

It kept reading the old version until the cache was cleared.

How to fix this, please?

Thanks :)

You probably need to adjust the Cache-Control HTTP header on the server response.

Thank you :)

I experimented a little and tried to set it from client side instead by setting the AJAX Request header. I tried setting "Cache-Control" to "no-cache" or "no-store", but the AJAX ON Complete never triggers.

Should I add something to the server as well? i.e. client header only is not enough?

From the page I linked to:

A given directive in a request does not mean the same directive should be in the response.

You have to put the header in the response, not the request.
