<p>I'm using an Nginx ingress controller to direct traffic to a specific service, although right now there is only one. The service points to a Node.js app, and the html returned from the server is always 304 not modified. Does anyone have any ideas as to how I can return 200 and prevent cache?</p>

<p>Here's my Ingress settings:</p>

<p><div class="snippet" data-lang="js" data-hide="false" data-console="true" data-babel="false">
<div class="snippet-code">
<pre class="snippet-code-html lang-html prettyprint-override"><code>apiVersion: networking.k8s.io/v1beta1 # for versions before 1.14 use extensions/v1beta1
kind: Ingress
metadata:
  name: kludge-ingress
  namespace: kludge
  annotations:
    # use the shared ingress-nginx
    kubernetes.io/ingress.class: "nginx"
spec:
  rules:
    - host: kludge.local
      http:
        paths:
          - path: /
            backend:
              serviceName: kludge-front-end
              servicePort: 80</code></pre>
</div>

<p>There's a pretty good chance you'd actually want <a href="https://kubernetes.github.io/ingress-nginx/user-guide/nginx-configuration/annotations/#configuration-snippet" rel="nofollow noreferrer">configuration-snippet</a> to add the header Cache-Control.</p>

<p>Example: </p>

<pre><code>apiVersion: extensions/v1beta1
kind: Ingress
metadata:
  name: myingress
  namespace: mynamespace
  annotations:
    nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/configuration-snippet: |
      add_header Cache-Control "max-age=0, no-cache, no-store, must-revalidate";
</code></pre>
