phonegap iPhone app caching old data

Question

Phonegap 2.1 iOS 6 jQuery 1.7.2 JQMobile 1.1.1

I have a phonegap app that seems to be caching old data from ajax responses if I don't use the app for a few days. I have to reinstall the app to clear it. I found a fix for the app itself but that would require re-publishing. It connects to a .NET WCF REST service, is there a way to just turn off caching on that end? I don't have outputCache in the webconfig at all so it may be on by default.

I'm going to try the ajax headers, hopefully that will work. — Jason, Jan 11 '13 at 17:58

You may also append a random number as a query parameter to your AJAX request URL to force the cache to update i.e. https://example.com/request.asp?timestamp=02347892378.

Ajax headers worked fine so far. I'll mark this as an answer also though. – Jason Jan 15 '13 at 13:05
