I have developed a web application that runs on Android and iOS. Does the webview cache the pages in some way? I am making changes to the html at the server, but it changes randomly, it does not always change. Is this correct behaviour? I thought it should look at the HTTP header and see that it has been modified.

There's definitely caching happening in UIWebView's on iOS. I wasn't able to find any reasonable solution (headers, etc.) when I came across the problem. We ended up renaming files server-side in order to trick it into de-caching things.
