How to prevent html5 page from caching?

Question

I converted a plain vanilla HTML page to HMTL5/CSS3 with a responsive layout, and for security reasons (dictated by the security people) the page must never cache.

I dislike appcache a tremendous amount. It almost works well but can be a real unforgiving pain. While doing some code refactoring, I realized that after logout, i could browse back to the the last page. Of course, refreshing browser it would force user back to login but this is not desired.

After searching around and seeing the options, I started to get a bit frustrated. I do not want to use appcache. I then realized that my code was redirecting to login page after destroying the session and got an idea, what if, I redirect to the home page instead? And voila, page was loaded, session checked (and of course not there), user redirected to login. Problem solved.
