Cached up in Google !

Problem:

A client accidentally found, to his surprise, that google had somehow managed to cache a “secure” page from his private web application !!

Solution:

To prevent something like this from happening again, the following meta tags must be included in the relevant html/jsp pages… to instruct search robots NOT to include the tagged pages into their search listings :-

<meta name="robots" content="none">
<meta name="robots" content="noarchive">
