Force HTST cache reset from webserver

Question

I'm using nginx as reverse proxy and nodejs for the application. I want to know is there any solutions to force HSTS or HTTPS Strict Transport Security from webserver?

I don't want to ask users to reset their browser cache because its really technical and they don't know how to address this issue.

Answer 1

You can use max-age = 0 to reset cache and force HTST cache reset.

In nginx:

server {
   ...
   add_header  Strict-Transport-Security "max-age=0;";
   ...
}
