Reload a Page

Use the history go() method.

<form>
  <input type="button" onClick="history.go(0)" value="Refresh" />
</form>

Alternatively, you can use cache control.

Cache-Control: no-cache, no-store, must-revalidate
Pragma: no-cache
Expires: 0

Set using Java or Node.js:

response.setHeader("Cache-Control", "no-cache, no-store, must-revalidate"); // HTTP 1.1.
response.setHeader("Pragma", "no-cache"); // HTTP 1.0.
response.setHeader("Expires", "0"); // Proxies.
