RE: Code snippets to disable browser caching

browser caching in the client side?

You can use a combination of headers and HTML to *suggest* to the
browser & proxies not to cache content (see the other replies for
examples), but at the end of the day it is down to the HTTP agent what
it actually does.  There are several bugs/features that can mean that
browsers still cache content under certain scenarios.  If the content
absolutely must never be written to disk (ever), then HTML and a browser
client probably isn't the delivery mechanism of choice.
