There are several S.O. questions on this like:

But no mater what I do, what I override I'm still getting header (FireFox, Chrome, curl -V, ...any browser)

Cache-Control: must-revalidate, private, max-age=0

I tried 

class ApplicationsController < ActionController::Base
  before_filter :no_store_cache
  after_filter :no_store_cache

  def no_store_cache
    response.headers["Cache-Control"] = "no-cache, no-store, max-age=0, must-revalidate"
    response.headers["Pragma"] = "no-cache"
    response.headers["Expires"] = '-1'
  end
end

I Tried to call this callback directly on ActionController::Base (https://github.com/equivalent/no_cache_control.git )

I Tried digging in rack-cache middle-ware overriding stuff trying to enforce the header

I've created my own middleware that was overriding header['Cache-Control'].

nothing works

With Rails 3.2 the gem no_cache_control only works when the rails app is booted in production mode. Can test this by booting your app in production mode with:

rails s -e production

Note: make sure you have your database.yml pointing somewhere valid for the production environment.

    it works for my "Staging" environment too(pretty much duplicate of Producion). So the premiss is that due to some Development environment configuration it is ignoring it – equivalent8 Dec 16 '14 at 10:12

Rails 7 now has a no_store method.

before_action :no_store
