Hi! How would one perform HTTP requests to a Unix socket instead of a TCP socket? I tried using `unix://` as the schema, but that didn't seem to work. I'm using the CIO client engine

It’s not yet supported: <https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/KTOR-4766/Unix-domain-socket-support-at-the-Ktor-Engine-level|https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/KTOR-4766/Unix-domain-socket-support-at-the-Ktor-Engine-level>
I created a PR, but need to update it:
<https://github.com/ktorio/ktor/pull/3342|https://github.com/ktorio/ktor/pull/3342>

That is a shame, but thanks for informing me

At least for test purposes you could easily checkout my branch. 

Thanks. I'll probably come up with some other alternative, ie a shim that listens on localhost on whatever port and forwards traffic between the socket and the application itself

Or maybe it's possible to provide CIO with a socket manually? If I build the socket using junixsocket, for example

I'm quite new to Kotlin (and Java), so apologies if I'm missing something too obvious

Do you use Kotlin/JVM (Java)? If so, you could use a client engine which supports unix sockets, AFAIK netty support it.

Yes, I'm running on the JVM. I used CIO because it seemed to be the suggested one. I'll give Netty a try. Thanks!

Netty does not appear to work for Ktor Client

Oh sorry, I mixed it up with Ktor Netty server side engine.
