Re: Code snippets to disable browser caching

["Dave Ferguson" <gmdavef () gmail com>]

If you're generating the page from Java/JSP, add the following code.

<%
response.setHeader("Cache-Control","no-cache");
response.setHeader("Pragma","no-cache");
response.setDateHeader ("Expires", -1);
%>

The meta tag in the html source is not necessarily going to work.  IE5
was notoriously bad about caching pages.  I think IE6 is less
aggressive about it.
