Jquery Datatables passing extra parameters while making Ajax call

Question

I am using Jquery Datatables to populate some data from the server. Below is the code I am using.

          var table = $(function  ()  {
           var table=$('#dataTable').dataTable( {
              "jQueryUI": true,
              "dom": 'T<"clear">lfrtip',
              "sPaginationType": "full_numbers",
              "sAjaxSource": HOST_NAME+"/states/",
              "sAjaxDataProp": "content",
              "bFilter": true,
              "oSearch": {"bRegex":true, "bSmart": false},
           });
           var tt = new $.fn.dataTable.TableTools( table );
         });

But during the ajax call I see an extra parameter http://myserver.com/states?_=1410160127424. I do not want to send the __=1410160127424 parameter since I am using varnish to cache the data. How to override the default implementation to restrict the extra parameter in the url.

Thanks

jQuery dataTables are using jQuery AJAX. So simply change the default settings for AJAX sessions :

$.ajaxSetup({ 
   cache: false 
});

@Pradeep, just realized - what version of dataTables are you using? To answer your question, this should be runned before any dataTable() but if you use 1.9.x or below, another approach is nessecary (in 1.9.x cache is hardcoded inside the datatables script)
