When I look at the /seaside/config page, and then choose config for
one of the listed apps, an app specific page is show. Is there any
plans to put explanitory text on that page as to what each of the
options are? I don't understand some of them. For example, Server
Port shows as 80, which is just wrong.

Ones I'm interested in are: Always Redirect, Server Port, Server
Protocol. What do they mean, and what does changing them do?

- Always Redirect: Seaside will, by default, issue a redirect after every request (so there's a 302 for every 200). Any side effects come before the redirect is issued, which means that reloading or using the back button will always be side effect free. If you want to sacrifice this safety/convenience for better latency, you can turn Always Redirect off.
- Server Port/Protocol: these are intended for the situation where you have Seaside behind a forwarder or SSL wrapper. They let it generate the right absolute URLs. In some cases it can figure these out itself from the Host header and they're unnecessary.
