Description Carlos Garcia Campos 2017-02-20 22:30:42 PST 
It was added in r193752 as part of bug #137692 to fix an infinite loop in network process that happened in EFL because they didn't enable the network cache at that time. I think that was actually a workaround, and it was added without any comment so it has stayed there even when EFL enabled disk cache, and now that is gone. Looking at current code I see no reason why buffering can't work with the disk cache disabled, so I think it's time to remove that workaround.

Have you tried it out with disabled network cache or do you just think that it will work?

Nope, I've just read the buffering code in the network process.
