 * Is there an action I can hook to before any headers are output?

 * There’s a few, but which one you use would most likely depend on what you actually
   want to do.

 * I want to call WP function nocache_headers() to make sure I reload the page every
   time.

 * I’d think the `init` action might be OK. That’s the first one that comes to mind,
   and should send those headers before anything actually gets done.

 * Thank you. It seems to work for Firefox and Chrome. IE appears to take a minute
   or two before it reloads the page.
 * Thanks a lot.
