GET request caching page response

I do not want the requested page to be cached by the browser. Would a post request fix this? Is there much downside to making a POST instead of a GET?

At the moment I am using like:

 $.get("/Client/JSON_GetInvoiceLines/" + ClientID, function (data) {
        //do stuff
    });

you can use the cache option in jQuery.

$.ajax({ url: '/Client/JSON_GetInvoiceLines/', type: 'GET', cache: false, success: function(data){ // do stuff } });

It will append a random character string as a GET parameter to the end of your URL, so the browser won't cache it.

However, the ideal solution would be to disable caching on the server-side by setting headers, assuming you have control over the resource that you're requesting.
