Hi There,
                   I am using curl 7.19.3 in my C++ code.

My code fetches some http file, my problem is even after the file is being updated on web server,
It's still downloading the cached copy of it.

I want to know how to disable this behavior
I have tried following easy set option but it did not work me
           curl_easy_setopt(handle, CURLOPT_FRESH_CONNECT, 1); // I guess this has got nothing to do with cache but still I tried and it did not help
           curl_easy_setopt(handle, CURLOPT_FORBID_REUSE, 1); // I guess this has got nothing to do with cache but still I tried and it did not help
           curl_easy_setopt(handle, CURLOPT_SSL_SESSIONID_CACHE, 0); // I guess this has got nothing to do with cache but still I tried and it did not help

after some search I found that there is something called "Pragma:nochache" header,
but I am not sure how to use this ? there is no curl_easy_setopt for doing this.

Though its not needed following is the codesnippet of how I am using curl

     CURL* handle = curl_easy_init();
     CURLcode err = CURLE_READ_ERROR;
     if(handle)
     {
           currentStatus = kInitiated;
           curl_easy_setopt(handle, CURLOPT_URL, myFileName);
           curl_easy_setopt(handle, CURLOPT_WRITEFUNCTION, my_write_data_handler);
           err = curl_easy_perform(handle);
           curl_easy_cleanup(handle);
           curl_global_cleanup();
           currentStatus = kCompleted;
     }
