haven't tried it or looked too much in depth yet, but do the ktor client libraries support talking to unix sockets?

I think they don’t, since it is not supported by JDK directly. (Though I think Netty supports them)
What’s your use-case?

was looking to experiment with writing a docker plugin (<https://docs.docker.com/engine/extend/plugin_api/#plugin-discovery>) from the server side that listens on a unix socket
and communicating with the docker engine from the client side (defaults to unix socket <https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/commandline/dockerd/#description>)

it's super nice being able to do something like `curl --unix-socket /var/run/docker.sock http:/images/json` , and not many (if any) java client libraries allow you to do anything like that

want me to open an issue for client/server support for unix sockets? or would it be better if i tried to see if i can make it work first?

I think you can open a feature request issue

thanks <@U0BLPSJAK>, i filed <https://github.com/ktorio/ktor/issues/412> and ill hopefulyl have some time to experiment this weekend
