That's a good point--POSTs won't get cached unless something is seriously borked. See also this note from URLRequest docs:
=== Note: If running in Flash Player and the referenced form has no body, Flash Player automatically uses a GET operation, even if the method is set to URLRequestMethod.POST. For this reason, it is recommended to always include a "dummy" body to ensure that the correct method is used. The default value is URLRequestMethod.GET. === In my opinion, using a POST for something that's really a GET that you do not want cached is a little more bogus than appending a dummy parameter, but whatever floats your boat. -- Maciek Sakrejda Truviso, Inc. http://www.truviso.com -----Original Message----- From: Tracy Spratt <tspr...@lariatinc.com> Reply-to: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: RE: [flexcoders] how to avoid cacheing XML Date: Fri, 17 Apr 2009 12:21:21 -0400 If you have control over the server, you are supposed t be able to set html headers that prevent caching, but there are so many server and browser combinations, well, good luck. Note, if you use POST to fetch your data, it should not cache.
