Browser refresh behaviour

html http refresh

When a user hits Refresh on their browser, it reloads the page but keeps the contents of form fields. While I can see this being a useful default, it can be annoying on some dynamic pages, leading to a broken user experience.

Is there a way, in HTTP headers or equivalents, to change this behaviour?
