Hi, is there any way to use the Ktor CIO Http Engine with Unix sockets? I’m trying to make a custom Http Engine but it seems very inefficient to do so because the only apparent difference is using UnixSocketAddress over InetSocketAddress… It doesn’t seem like I can configure CIO to use a Unix address but maybe I’m mistaken. I’d appreciate any help!

So, do you want to use Unix Domain sockets instead of TCP/IP sockets as the transport?

[Ali Kay]

yes that is correct

Unfortunately, that's not possible with the current implementation of the CIO engine.
