[OpenWrt-Devel] [PATCH 1/2] services/uhttpd: add -o option for Cache-Control header no-cache

If uhttpd is started with the option -o then Cache-Control header is
send with option no-cache to client. This option will instruct the client
software (browser) do not cache the content.

I have seen some problem with luci-ng with the Browsers Edge, IE and Firefox.
They will not load the new files even the file content has changed.
If I set this option then all browser will load the new file from uhttpd.
This works with the Etag header feature.
