Firefox can overcome this problem by virtue of the Modify Headers plugin. Essentially you need to add two headers to your outgoing request:

Pragma: no-cache

Cache-Control: no-cache

The same effect can be achieved for Internet Explorer and other Windows applications by running Privoxy and adding the following rule to the actions file:

{+add-header{Pragma: no-cache}\
+add-header{Cache-Control: no-cache}}
/
