How to stop chrome from caching

html google-chrome reload meta-tags

I need to force the browser to reload the previous page from the server when the user presses the back button.

I've added the following to my response headers:

Cache-Control: no-cache, must-revalidate
Expires: -1

This seems to work for most browsers but not for Google Chrome that insists on returning the cached results.

So does anyone know how I force the browser to get the page from the server when the user presses the back button?

Thank you.

as per this bug report in chromium repo, users find that using no-store instead of no-cache will fix it in chrome.
