@A.Wolff to keep the browser from caching... – brso05 Jul 27 '15 at 13:00

@user2287714 What framework are you using? – brso05 Jul 27 '15 at 13:00

So it should be handled server side – A. Wolff Jul 27 '15 at 13:00

@A.Wolff yes probably but he could technically inject scripts using javascript/jquery... – brso05 Jul 27 '15 at 13:01

@brso05 ya he could still add some timestamp, but he shouldn't – A. Wolff Jul 27 '15 at 13:02

- This can be done from the server side as well as client side. Safest way to do it is from server side. Simply set a variable into session containing the current System date of the server and add it onto the page.
- If you wish to do it from client side, you need to look for all the script tags in your code with src attribute and append a variable containing the current date to it. You can call this piece of code for window.onload() or document.ready() as per your will.
