The may be a problem with your headers. What i mean is, is the browser 
(wrongly) caching the page you request?

Try setting the correct headers. Also, you might add an ever-changing 
dummy value to your request to trick the browser into thinking this is a 
new, non-cached page.

You have
var myurl = 'http://server/script.cgi?value='+int_value;

change to:

var myurl = 'http://server/script.cgi?value='+int_value + '&dummyvalue=' 
+ now.getTime();
