Making sure a web page is not cached, across all browsers.
- by Edward Wilde
Our investigations have shown us that not all browsers respect the http cache directives in a uniform manner.
For security reasons we do not want certain pages in our application to cached, ever, by the web browser. This must work for at least the following browsers:
Internet Explorer versions 6-8
FireFox versions 1.5 - 3.0
Safari version 3
Opera 9
Our requirement came from a security test. After logging out from our website you could press the back button and view cached pages.
