linux bash caching curl memcached

Is there a way to tell curl command not to use server's side cache? e.g; I have this curl command:

curl -v www.example.com

how can I ask curl to send a fresh request to not use the cache?

Note: I am looking for an executable command in the terminal.

I know this is an older question, but I wanted to post an answer for users with the same question:

curl -H 'Cache-Control: no-cache' http://www.example.com

This curl command servers in its header request to return non-cached data from the web server.
