Hi All,

I am trying to expire previous page if the back button of browser is clicked. I have tried the following steps:

Step #1

MIDL

Response.Cache.SetCacheability(HttpCacheability.NoCache);
Response.Cache.SetExpires(DateTime.UtcNow.AddHours(-1));
Response.Cache.SetNoStore();

Step #2

<%@ OutputCache Duration="1" NoStore="true" VaryByParam="none" %>

Step #3

Response.Expires = -1;

Unfortunately, None of them work.

How Should I do this?

Regards
Aman

MSIL

HttpContext.Current.Response.Cache.SetCacheability(HttpCacheability.NoCache);
        HttpContext.Current.Response.Cache.SetNoServerCaching();
        HttpContext.Current.Response.Cache.SetNoStore();
        Session.Abandon();

and
Collapse
<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">
window.history.forward(1);
document.attachEvent("onkeydown", my_onkeydown_handler);
function my_onkeydown_handler()
{
switch (event.keyCode)
{
case 116 : // F5;
event.returnValue = false;
event.keyCode = 0;
window.status = "We have disabled F5";
break;
}
}
</script>

You are doing the right things. You need to set, from my PHP experience:
Cache-Control: none
Pragma: no-cache
Expires: (a date/time in the past)
... to get browsers not to cache the page.

Note that that is not necessarily the same thing as preventing the back button working, though. You shouldn't try to do that, it is very annoying as a website user. Some browsers will not count going back as being a page refresh and therefore won't do a cache check.

Why do you want to do this? Most use cases can be solved by clearing the session on logout, which will cause all session-dependent internal pages to fail (usually by redirecting to a login page).
