HTTP 302 should not be cached by the client.

However, I would recommend using something like cURL for testing rather than a browser since it eliminates optimizations and most caching.

curl -I "http://www.domain.com/"

The flag 

-I
instructs 
cURL
to do a 
HEAD
request, which makes it much easier to review the results. Keep in mind that 
HEAD
sometimes returns a different response than 
GET
.
