iOS 6 Caching WebUI json POST requests

Description
It would seem that iOS is caching the requests to the webui's json interface. This is causing the UI to show what seems like a playback or recorded view of the progress of the torrents -- since it's showing the cached requests which oddly isn't always the same but seemingly changing and eventually sorts it self out. But I see day old torrents randomly for awhile first.
I found this on how iOS's Safari is caching in v6:
No Cache-Control or Expires headers = iOS6 Safari will cache
Cache-Control max-age=0 and an immediate Expires = iOS6 Safari will cache
Cache-Control: no-cache = iOS6 Safari will NOT cache
via http://stackoverflow.com/a/12516555 which has some more details.
And it seems to be new with iOS 6.
I was able to fix it locally with a single line change to json_api.py
@@ -274,6 +274,7 @@ class JSON(resource.Resource, component. def _send_response(self, request, response): response = json.dumps(response) request.setHeader("content-type", "application/x-json") + request.setHeader("cache-control","no-cache") request.write(compress(response, request)) request.finish()
This was seen with 1.3.5 on Ubuntu installed via the ppa.

If it's fixed in iOS 6.1's Safari then Apple sees it as a bug themselves (Something I wasn't really counting on) and likely affects many other projects.
I'll close it for now -- if 6.1 is released and there's still an issue perhaps I'll reopen.
I am not sure whether applying this due to a bug in Safari is a good idea.
Also apparently this is fixed in Safari 6.1 so by the time our next release with a workaround is out it would be irrelevant.
