Description
Currently there isn't any way to use Unix Domain Sockets with libsoup.
There is a patch floating around that allows soup_server to accept an already open socket, I think this is mostly used for systemd, but could help here.
But I don't see any way to do this for the client side yet. I believe one of the major blockers on this is what URI to use that would specify a unix domain socket?
I don't see anything in the client code that would allow working directly with a socket, everything expects a URI of some sort. And how do we encapsulate a local socket into a URI?
Thanks
