Hi,
I've use these ones:
----------------------------------------
HTML
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Expires" CONTENT="-1">
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Pragma" CONTENT="no-cache">
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Cache-control" CONTENT="no-cache">
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Cache" CONTENT="no-cache">
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Expires" CONTENT="thu, 01 Jan 1998 12:00:00 GMT">
To properly prevent the Web page from appearing in the cache (older IE
versions), place another header section at the end of the HTML
document:
...
</BODY>
<HEAD>
<META HTTP-EQUIV="PRAGMA" CONTENT="NO-CACHE">
</HEAD>
</HTML>
----------------------------------------
ASP
<% Response.CacheControl = "no-cache" 'HTTP 1.1 %>
<% Response.CacheControl="private" 'prevents caching at the proxy server %>
<% Response.AddHeader "Pragma", "no-cache" 'HTTP 1.0 %>
<% Response.AddHeader "cache-control", "no-store" 'HTTP 1.1 %>
<% Response.Expires = -1 'prevents caching at the proxy server %>
----------------------------------------
JSP
<% response.setHeader("Cache-Control","no-cache"); %>
<% response.setHeader("Pragma","no-cache"); %>
<% response.setDateHeader ("Expires", 0); %>
<% response.setHeader("Cache-Control","no-store"); %>
----------------------------------------
PHP
Header("Cache-control: private, no-cache, must-revalidate");
Header("Cache-control: private, no-cache");
Header("Expires: Mon, 26 Jul 1997 05:00:00 GMT"); # Past date
Header("Pragma: no-cache"); #HTTP 1.0
----------------------------------------
And another simple technique :
append a random number to the query-string of every URL you do not want cached
More on http1.1 caching:

Hope it helps,
JJ
