Here's what I do to guarantee no caching:
void printCGIheader(){
printf("Content-type: text/html\n");
printf("Expires: 0\n");
printf("Cache-control: no-cache\n");
printf("Pragma: no-cache\n");
printf("\n");
}
void printCookieHeader(char *token) {
printf("Content-type: text/html\n");
printf("Expires: 0\n");
printf("Cache-control: no-cache\n");
printf("Pragma: no-cache\n");
printf("Set-cookie: token=%s\n",token);
printf("\n");
}
I basically threw in everything and the kitchen sink.
This should work for both HTTP 1.0 and 1.1 and those pesky proxy caches.
(although @home's proxy server kills the cookies for some reason, but
there is no need to use @home's proxy servers). Squid proxy server
passes the cookies just fine and does not cache anything.
