axios-cache-interceptor Bug: Safari does not respect cacheTakeover

What happened?

Our app uses the web storage but It seems Safari does not respect cacheTakeover and stores responses into its cache even though the request headers are send. Lib works fine with Chrome and Firefox so I understand Safari does not respect no-cache at all.

This was tested with Safari version 18.6 (20621.3.11.11.3)

axios-cache-interceptor version

v1.8.2

Node / Browser Version

23.1.0

Axios Version

v1.10.0

What storage is being used

Web Storage

Relevant debugging log output

There is no strange output.

@arthurfiorette Thanks a lot for trying to take care of this but it seems that problem still persists in 1.8.3 as well. Maybe we should leave the issue as open.

@arthurfiorette Has this been tested on safari? I tested v1.9.1 and saw no difference. Trying to understand if there's still something wrong on my side or AI agents lie like they always do 😆

@CatchABus yes, I tested it myself after this PR...

I guess this is the most this library can do, if your case is not working, just append a random query param every time and discard that param in this library key generator.

Maybe adding Vary * as a response hader in your backend solves it.
