Cache as false globally in $.get()

Question

We are using $.get() in our codes to perform AJAX calls. We have noticed that IE actually caches our request and the DB hit doesn't happen until the browser cache is cleared.

To encounter this, we have used cache:false in few of the $.get() calls as given below:

$.get({url:'/Area/Controller/ActionMethod',cache:false, data:data})
       .then(function (response) {
           if (response != undefined) {
               alert('Success');
           }
       })
       .fail(function (xhr, statusText, error) {
           console.log(xhr);
       })
       .always(function () {
       });

But we have over 500 different $.get() calls in our code base. How can we globally set cache as false for all the $.get() calls.

I understand that if we were using $.ajax() calls, we would have been able to set cache as false in $.ajaxSetup().

I searched for the above but couldn't find substantial results.

Please assist.

Thanks

$.ajaxSetup() applies to all ajax calls even $.get()

I have $.get() scattered over the whole solution, not particular to a page or view. Where do u suggest I should keep $.ajaxSetup()? – Anurag Sep 12 '16 at 04:49
don't you have a common file included in all the views? – madalinivascu Sep 12 '16 at 04:53
I guess I can manage that, keep a script on the Layout page. Now cache:false will apply to $.post() as well, right? Any solution to only apply cache:false to $.get() calls especially? – Anurag Sep 12 '16 at 04:54
Let me see..Thanks – Anurag Sep 12 '16 at 05:03
