How to get fresh copy if OutputCache(Location = Ou

问题:

Mono MVC2 application uses controller below to cache order page in browser.

If F5 is pressed in browser, old page is still returned to browser. How to return fresh page if F5 is pressed ? It looks like page is cached in server but OutputCacheLocation.Downstream must cache page only in borwser. Is this bug?

    [Authorize]
    public class DetailController : ControllerBase
    {
        [OutputCache(Location = OutputCacheLocation.Downstream, Duration = 20 * 60,VaryByParam = "_entity")]
        public ActionResult Index(string _entity, int? orderId)
        {
...
