You can add an unique URL parameter to it.  That normally tells the web server that is a new request and shouldn’t send a cached version of the page, and if it is being cached locally, by changing the URL parameter, you work around the cache since it technically is a different URL.

So do something like:

local urlToOpen = "http://www.google.com/?nocache=" .. os.time()

or if the URL already has parameters, do:

local urlToOpen = "http://www.google.com/?id=123&nocache=" .. os.time()

(You are adding ?nocache if its the only URL parameter, or &nocache if there already are other URL parameters.)

Then use the variable urlToOpen as the URL to open in the webview.
