When HttpCacheability is set to NoCache or ServerAndNoCache the Expires HTTP header is by default set to -1; this tells the client not to cache responses in the History folder, so that when you use the back/forward buttons the client requests a new version of the response each time.

So this prevents page content to be cache in history but not url.

AFAIK, you can't do it. The best I can suggest is:

Use Privacy browsing - nothing gets stored, ever.
Use IPs rather than domains
Return pages via AJAX rather than browsing.

But a site can't say "Never show this in the history list" to the browser.

You can't do it.
Controlling history is not something that you can do via code.
