How do I ensure jQuery ajax call does not send a local copy of file?

Question

$.ajax({
  type: 'GET',      
  url: "string.txt",
  cache: false,
  success: function(str){
    alert("Data is: "+ str);
  }
});

In this example, string.txt is sent to the cache (\Temporary Internet Files) How do I ensure that the file is not sent. I do not want copy to be sent.
Only a read from the server. Am I missing an option?

I set cache to false but that does not block it from being sent to client. For example, ajax POST does not send a local copy.....

Here is some background info to what i am trying to do, but with jQuery.

I am curious as to why the standard ajax post seems to have the desired functionality I am looking for and am unable to do that with jQuery?

Thanks

Or set a no cache header server-side.
