jquery - Ajax call fails for no reason in Chrome -

i have simple ajax call, running in 1 second interval, updates page match status:

var getmatches = function() {         $.ajax({             url: '/match',             type: 'get',             success: function(data) {                 avm.matches(data);             },             error: function(jqxhr, textstatus, errorthrown) {                 console.log('error occured: ' + errorthrown);             }         });     }; 

this worked beginning of project, lately started misbehaving - on chrome only.

the call won't fire - have log::debug on server side, , call doesn't reach it. network panel in developer tools not show call. textstatus 'error', errorthrown empty, , jqxhr.status 0. while happening, if run http://localhost/match, or open same page in firefox - correct results. not server or routing issue - it's purely in client.

this behavior started yesterday, , i'm observing on production server well. , sporadic - if close chrome, clean cache, etc., it'll work again - while. there in cache that's blocking call?

any ideas how troubleshoot this?

sounds browser using cached response. try adding option:

cache: false 

to $.ajax() call.
