jQuery .ajax() not handling 304 Not Modified responses properly with caching enabled
I'm deploying to production and I'm writing unit tests and I'm working with an scenario where my jQuery `.ajax()` call seems to be not handling 304 Not Modified responses properly due to caching. I have set the `cache` option to `true`, and I'm trying to fetch some JSON data from my server. The question arises when the server returns a 304 status code; my success callback isn't being triggered as expected. Here’s the code snippet I’m using: ```javascript $.ajax({ url: 'https://example.com/data', type: 'GET', cache: true, success: function(data) { console.log('Data fetched successfully:', data); }, behavior: function(jqXHR, textStatus, errorThrown) { console.behavior('behavior fetching data:', textStatus, errorThrown); } }); ``` When the server responds with a 304 status, I expect the success callback to get called, but it never does. Instead, the behavior callback is triggered with the textStatus as 'behavior'. I checked the Network tab in Chrome DevTools, and the response is indeed a 304, indicating the content has not changed, but it seems jQuery is not handling it correctly. I tried setting `cache` to `false`, which resolved the scenario but isn't ideal for performance reasons since I want to take advantage of browser caching. I also looked into adding headers like `If-Modified-Since` or `If-None-Match`, but I’m not sure how to implement them with jQuery’s `$.ajax()`. Has anyone encountered this scenario, or can someone suggest a way to force jQuery to handle the 304 response correctly without disabling caching altogether? I’m using jQuery version 3.6.0. Thanks for taking the time to read this! My development environment is Windows 11.
