Caching Issues with Adobe Flex and HTTPservice

28 Views

I faced a strange issue a coupla days back. In one of my Applications I had a Timer which would fire every 10 secs and would fetch data using a HTTPService call when fired. Surprisingly though, the initial results fetched by the HTTPservice was cached and would not reflect any changes when the data changed in the background, in IE, however the problem would not occur in Firefox !

I sort of hacked the HTTPService url to add a random number at the end of the call to make it believe that it was calling a different URL every time and it worked. But I would definitely like to know the reason for this behavior 😊
