When I drop a WebView on my XIB does it automatically cache the

morning it started working just fine. If it does cache can anyone
direct me to something I can read on how to disable caching?
This has been discussed several times on the WebKitSDK-dev list and
the short answer is that yes, it does caching and no, there is nothing
you can do to turn it off. I and others have tried a myriad of
workarounds but unfortunately the caching is down in WebCore. The
WebKit developers are aware of this issue and so hopefully it will be
resolved in future but please file a bug.
The only solution that does work is the old web developer trick of
appending a random argument to the URL, e.g.:
file:///path/to/myjavascript.js?random=12345234
If you change the random argument each time the page is loaded, the
JavaScript file will be reloaded each time.
