I add some junk in generated URL,  like
  <url>?dummy=<some_uniqe_never_repeated_value>
This relies on the fact that most browsers
will not cache urls with queries within.
Of course, I might be wrong, but I could
survive with this scenario for many years.

This will (of course) fill the browser's cache
pretty fast, so if you care about that, don't do it.
