Handle browser's Back and Next buttons after logout Python

After log out from my app, I have redirected the user to the log in page. At the log in page, when someone click back or next buttons of the browser, I want to redirect him to the login page as same as gmail or facebook.

So I tried to clear cache as follow,

class LogoutHandler(SecurePageHandler):
def get(self):
    self.session_store.delete_cookie('session')
    self.session.clear()

    response = self.redirect('/')
    response.headers['Cache-Control'] = 'no-cache, no-store, max-age=0, must-revalidate'
    response.headers['Pragma'] = 'no-cache'
    response.headers['Expires'] = 'Fri, 01 Jan 1990 00:00:00 GMT'
    return response

But still the back button directing me to the previous page which I logged out from.

I noted that, Referer field in the Request Headers still keeping the previous URL. So I think, I should have to override it. But I couldn't find a way to modify my Request object.

I am trying on this more than half a day and I sincerely appreciate if someone can help me.

Thanx

Maybe you can try to use javascript's window.location.replace after logout so that the page you don't want to go back to is replace with the new login page.
