Too many js files being cached

[cyu]

This isn't coming from rack-cors. What version Rails are you using? What are you using to load the application js file?

[cyu]

Looks like you're using jQuery? See if passing cache: true to your ajax call does the trick:

rails -v: 3.2.12. I'm using asset pipeline. i've done

    rake assets:clean
    rake assets:precompile

code to query

       $.ajax({
      beforeSend: function (xhr) {
          xhr.setRequestHeader ('Authorization', api_key);
      },
      cache: false,
      dataType: 'html',
      type: 'GET',
      url: url+'/gwsearch/ajax_search?d1='+d1_val+'&d2='+d2_val,
      crossDomain: true,
      success:function(result){

        $("#display").html(result);
      },
      error: function(result) {
        $('#display').html('Unauthorized client.');
      }

rails responds with

respond_to do |format|

  format.html #responds with html
   if params[:callback]
   format.js { render :json => {:items_by_tag => @gw_search_results.to_json}, :callback =>    params[:callback] }
   else
    format.js
   end

  end

changed to cache: true, no go unfortunately @cyu

 $.ajax({
  beforeSend: function (xhr) {
      xhr.setRequestHeader ('Authorization', api_key);
  },
  cache: true,
  dataType: 'html',
  type: 'GET',
  url: url+'/gwsearch/ajax_search?d1='+d1_val+'&d2='+d2_val,
  crossDomain: true,
  success:function(result){

    $("#display").html(result);
  },
  error: function(result) {
    $('#display').html('Unauthorized client.');
  }

What's causing application.js to load though? Is it in the HTML returned by the ajax_search call?

Here's more info on the subject:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1537032/how-do-i-stop-jquery-appending-a-unique-id-to-scripts-called-via-ajax

I'm not sure if there is a suitable solution for this. Sounds like the best thing to do is to request those scripts outside HTML response.

[amplicity]

Yes, it's through a script tag in the HTML response

<script src="http://localhost:3000/assets/application.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

I'm going to try the hack in the question you referenced and see if that works first, I'd rather not have to load the scripts outside the html response if I don't have to.

[amplicity]

Using this worked:

$.ajaxPrefilter('script', function(options) {
options.cache = true;
});

Thanks for the help @cyu

@cyu Actually, I'm having the same original problem, which I thought had to do with multiple javascripts being delivered.

After my page is requested through ajax cross domain, it has input buttons on it. When I click one of them, it does this:

 <%= form_tag plans_collapse_plans_path, :method => 'post', :remote => true do %>
          <%= hidden_field_tag(:plangroup_id, plangroup.id) %>
          <%= image_submit_tag "collapse.png" %>
 <% end %>

The collapse_plans post will be sent however many times I made the initial ajax request. When I look at the request of the input button, it mentions something in the javascript about cors. Could this have anything to do with rack-cors? Something is being reinitialized or loaded everytime I send the initial ajax request for the page. Is it the input form in the html page or the jquery being reinitialized each time? Is there anything I can set in cors to possibly mitigate this?

[cyu]

I'm not exactly sure what the problem is, but I'm guessing that anything to mitigate this is really out of scope of this gem.

Closing this as this issue isn't caused by Rack::Cors.
