It seems it didn't work. I put the META statement in the HEAD section
	<HEAD>
	<META HTTP-EQUIV="Pragma" CONTENT="no-cache">
	<TITLE> ... </TITLE>
	</HEAD>

It ended up it I still could backup to that password-protected page 
freely.  I doubted if the page still in the cache, or the browser stored 
my password in its cache.
