2020-01-22docs: mention when increasing http.postBuffer is valuableLibravatar brian m. carlson1-0/+8
Users in a wide variety of situations find themselves with HTTP push problems. Oftentimes these issues are due to antivirus software, filtering proxies, or other man-in-the-middle situations; other times, they are due to simple unreliability of the network. However, a common solution to HTTP push problems found online is to increase http.postBuffer. This works for none of the aforementioned situations and is only useful in a small, highly restricted number of cases: essentially, when the connection does not properly support HTTP/1.1. Document when raising this value is appropriate and what it actually does, and discourage people from using it as a general solution for push problems, since it is not effective there.

2020-01-21docs: use "currently" for the present timeLibravatar brian m. carlson1-2/+2
In many languages, the adverb with the root "actual" means "at the present time." However, this usage is considered dated or even archaic in English, and for referring to events occurring at the present time, we usually prefer "currently" or "presently". "Actually" is commonly used in modern English only for the meaning of "in fact" or to express a contrast with what is expected. Since the documentation refers to the available options at the present time (that is, at the time of writing) instead of drawing a contrast, let's switch to "currently," which both is commonly used and sounds less formal than "presently."
