        Putting cache control information in the HTML (including
        HEAD) is essentially useless for non-browser caches, unless
        the origin server copies the information into the proper
        HTTP headers.

        Cache control information must go in the HTTP headers, where
        it can be used for images and other non-HTML documents, as
        well.

        The article referenced in the other reply gives more
        details.
