Unsightly _pjax=true parameter in link URLs after pjaxing

[henrik]

Figured out the solution myself, but putting it here for googleability if someone else has the same problem.

We saw the following behavior: if I'm on page /a and click a pjax link to page /b, everything is fine. But when I click a link from there on to page C, the link will say /c?_pjax=true and that's the URL I will see after following it.

The issue is simply that since pjax adds the _pjax=true parameter in its Ajax request for reasons of browser caching, the links in your view may render with that parameter included, depending on how you generate their URLs.

What I did in Ruby on Rails was simply a params[:_pjax] = nil in the controller (a before filter might be appropriate) before rendering the view. Doesn't interfere with the caching but helps the links render without that parameter.
