Hi every body,

I use the following code to force expire some pages (method POST) when user 
clicks on Back button of IE.

response.setHeader("Expires", "Thu, 19 Nov 1981 08:52:00 GMT");
response.setHeader("Cache-Control", "max-age=0, no-store, no-cache, must-revalidate, 
post-check=0, pre-check=0");
response.setHeader("Pragma", "no-cache");

The problem is when I configures my browser to pass through a proxy (Squid), this code 
doesn't work. That means when user clicks on Back button, he will see the precedent page 
in the browser's history instead of the "Webpage has expired" error. Even when 
I configure Squid to disable cache, it doesn't work

Browser history mechanisms work differently from caches, as explained in RFC 2616, Section 13.13. In particular, a history mechanism may display the content last seen by the user even if it has expired.
