Thread: revisiting unix domain sockets

Has there been any movement and-or push back around supporting unix
domain sockets within the connection string? I've seen simple patches on
the web to add support- it seems like a trivial matter, is there a
design consideration or other issue outstanding?

Example of using JNA for unix domain sockets:

Send a PR and I'll look at it.

For BSD support, you need to set the sa_len member (or sun_len of struct
sockaddr_un).

Much appreciated. I believe there's a special case for Solaris as well.
I'm a FreeBSD fan, but it's been awhile.
I'll revisit it prior to sending a pull request.

What's the outlook for this feature becoming available?
