cache_page: force reload

Hi,

up to now cache_page ignores "pragma no-cache" (shift-ctrl-r in firefox).

I think this ticket should be looked at again:

https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/10225#comment:5
Cache middleware does not honor "Cache-Control: no-cache" in request headers

{{{
A normal reload (F5 or ctrl-r) does not set the request header "Pragma: no-cache". Only shift-ctrl-r or ctrl-f5 sets it.
The current implementation (ignoring pragma no-cache) does not help you, if someone wants to bring your site down. I
think this is a valid ticket and pragma no-cache should not be ignored.

BTW, if you are a developer and want to force a reload, you can add a query-string: http://..../foo/?x

If you are afraid of denial of service attacks, an attacker could send you a different query-string in every request!
}}}
