All a no-cache tag would do is prevent systems which should be caching
it from caching it. If the page request is being cached then the
intervening cache should be issuing an If-Modified-Since header in its
request through to our server which would allow it to notice if the page
had changed. What happens if you force a reload in whichever browser?

The correct thing to do is to determine what is preventing your system
from behaving properly and fix that, rather than cripple the behaviour
of correctly operating systems out there in response to your issue.

That's what we need to determine. Does a commandline request for the
page (E.g. using wget or cURL result in a correctly downloaded uncached
page?
