How do I define
<meta http-equiv="cache-control" content="no-cache" /> in HTML5? It is no longer valid according to the W3C Validator and the documentation.

To use cache-control in HTML, you use the meta tag, e.g. The value in the content field is defined as one of the four values below. HTTP 1.1. Allowed values = PUBLIC | PRIVATE | NO-CACHE | NO-STORE.
When we use the meta tag “cache-control” with the value “no-cache”, we prevent caching of the webpage and that means the webpage is reloaded for every page view. This may lead to longer loading times but is helpful in cases where webpage is being updated frequently.
An alternative to the Cache-Control HTTP header is to use META HTTP-Equiv tags. These tags produce the same result as the equivalent HTTP header when used within your channel pages and are processed by the M-Business Sync Server and displayed in M-Business Client.
<META HTTP-EQUIV="PRAGMA" CONTENT="NO-CACHE"> This directive indicates cached information should not be used and instead requests should be forwarded to the origin server.
Putting caching instructions into meta tags is not a good idea, because although browsers may read them, proxies won't. For that reason, they are invalid and you should send caching instructions as real HTTP headers.
