That's a keystroke, right? A process runs to generate these pages quite
frequently. We want the user to see the most freshly generated page without
the user having to take any action of their own. So we want to put tags into
the page to tell the browser not to cache, by forcing it to expire out of the
browser (and out of intermediate caching servers).
Or am I missing something?
As other posters have said, it seems the meta tag with the expires and pragma
nocache subtags (I like KL's example, seems very belt and suspenders, and
that's meeee...) is the way to go.
