Is there a tag to turn off caching in all browsers?

I noticed some caching issues with service calls when repeating the same service call (long polling). Adding metadata didn’t help. One solution is to pass a timestamp to ensure ie thinks it’s a different http service request. That worked for me, so adding a server side scripting code snippet to automatically update this tag wouldn’t hurt:
