What if you use HTTP headers, like "Pragma: no-cache" (the simplest) or
"If-Modified-Since: ...."? I don't know how to tell a browser like Mozilla
to use such a header (I would have thought they'd do it when you hit
shift-reload...), but you can easily do it with wget or curl (at one
point, curl even added a "Pragma: no-cache" header by default, which
drove me crazy when a cache I was testing never seemed to use the cached
content and always fetched new content).
