I also noticed recently that there is a "Disable Caches" option under the Develop menu on Safari. I tested it using the same procedure and it indeed did not cache the javascript, so I know this is possible one way or another.

It’s true, Disable Caches does this.

In fact, I read over the implementation of that menu item before answering your original question. All that Safari does when that menu item is selected is:

[[WebPreferences standardPreferences] setCacheModel:WebCacheModelDocumentViewer];
    [[NSURLCache sharedURLCache] setDiskCapacity:0];

I’m not sure why that works better in Safari than in your test application.

        NSURL * url = [aRequest URL];
NSURLRequest * cachelessRequest = [NSURLRequest requestWithURL:url cachePolicy:NSURLRequestReloadIgnoringCacheData timeoutInterval:100];
        return cachelessRequest;

This code in your willSendRequest delegate method may be causing a problem. It discards the request and creates a new one, taking only the URL from the original request. That’s a problem because there are other important fields in the request, such as the HTTP method, HTTP body, and HTTP header fields. If you want to change the cache policy (and you should not need to do this, see my original message), you would need code more like this:

    if ([request cachePolicy] == NSURLRequestReloadIgnoringCacheData)
        return request;

    NSURLRequest *cachelessRequest = [aRequest mutableCopy];
[cachelessRequest setCachePolicy:NSURLRequestReloadIgnoringCacheData];
    return cachelessRequest;

Hope that helps.
