Audience Network - Add Cachebuster Param to BidRequest

[jfb716]

Type of issue

Bug

Description

Safari isn't respecting the response headers for the Audience Network bidder so it's caching some bid requests. This could be only when multiple requests go out before responses come back for any but it's specific to Safari.

Are you able to add a cachebuster param to our endpoint? Something like this:

'&cb=${random()}'

Steps to reproduce

Reproducible in Safari mobile web.

Test page

Reach out if needed.

Expected results

All bids should be unique.

Actual results

Seeing the same bidid used over and over because safari is caching requests.

Platform details

Safari mobile web

Other information

Hi John, the caching problem you've experienced in Safari has been reported to Apple but in the meantime I'll add your excellent suggestion of a cachebuster to workaround this until an upstream fix is available.
