434865 - Back button displays pages that were forced to expire

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Firefox :: Bookmarks & History, defect)

Description

[Jim Goode]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.8.1.14) Gecko/20080404 Firefox/2.0.0.14

We have written a Java application that invalidates (session.invalidate()) the user's http session when they log out of the application. We have also included meta tags '<META HTTP-EQUIV="Pragma" CONTENT="no-cache">' and '<META HTTP-EQUIV="Expires" CONTENT="-1">' to try and convince the browser that clicking the back button should not display a prior page. This is considered a security violation to allow one user to see another user's data on a public computer. If other developers do not feel this is a browser bug, or issue, please advise me of the correct method to effect the desired solution. I get the same result with both FF 2.0.0.14 and 3.0rc1.
