Can anyone suggest me how to write my HTML file so that it disables
browser caching in the client side? You can use a combination of headers and HTML to *suggest* to the browser & proxies not to cache content (see the other replies for examples), but at the end of the day it is down to the HTTP agent what it actually does. There are several bugs/features that can mean that browsers still cache content under certain scenarios. If the content absolutely must never be written to disk (ever), then HTML and a browser client probably isn't the delivery mechanism of choice.
