Hi devs,

I wonder why these two calls return the identical result:

> [https://testardor.jelurida.com/nxt?requestType=getPrunableMessages&chain=2&account=ARDOR-S3R8-B55Z-BHGJ-FWUCT&otherAccount=ARDOR-2LLJ-JRUA-M9X9-2V6EB&firstindex=200&lastIndex=299&timestamp=102856928](https://testardor.jelurida.com/nxt?requestType=getPrunableMessages&chain=2&account=ARDOR-S3R8-B55Z-BHGJ-FWUCT&otherAccount=ARDOR-2LLJ-JRUA-M9X9-2V6EB&firstindex=200&lastIndex=299&timestamp=102856928)

> [https://testardor.jelurida.com/nxt?requestType=getPrunableMessages&chain=2&account=ARDOR-S3R8-B55Z-BHGJ-FWUCT&otherAccount=ARDOR-2LLJ-JRUA-M9X9-2V6EB&firstindex=700&lastIndex=799&timestamp=102856928](https://testardor.jelurida.com/nxt?requestType=getPrunableMessages&chain=2&account=ARDOR-S3R8-B55Z-BHGJ-FWUCT&otherAccount=ARDOR-2LLJ-JRUA-M9X9-2V6EB&firstindex=700&lastIndex=799&timestamp=102856928)

My expectation would be, that I receive different chunks of all messages that have been sent between both accounts. If there were less than 800 messages in total (between `now` and `timestamp`), I would expect an empty array as response.

Any help here is much appreciated, thanks!

Using POST instead of GET solved the issue.

Caching problems surely. POSTs aren't cached so using POST is a safe bet to prevent this kind of issues. Doing any kind of integration I would suggest sticking with POST.

Actually, the problem with the above queries isn't about cache. It's a mistyped parameter first **i** ndex . Should be first **I** ndex.
