There's a lot in the archives on this topic!
Anyway, I use
res.setHeader("Cache-Control", "no-store");
res.setDateHeader("Expires", 0);
and this seems to work on IE 5.0 and Netscape 4.6

Hi all,
I have used the following methods to prevent caching of pages sent from the
server side at the browser side:
Method 1
--------------
res.setHeader("Pragma","no-cache");
// code
Method 2
--------------
res.setHeader("expires","0");
// code
Both the above have worked with Netscape 4.7 but not with IE 5.0. Is there
any particular reason for this? Am I invoking the methods correctly?
Are there any other methods I could use which would work with both
browsers?
Thanks,
Sanjiv
