Enables the use of UNIX domain sockets as connection end point and sets the path
Enables the use of UNIX domain sockets as connection endpoint and sets the path
to \fIpath\fP. If \fIpath\fP is NULL, then UNIX domain sockets are disabled. An
empty string will result in an error at some point.
empty string will result in an error at some point, it will not disable use of
UNIX domain sockets.
When enabled, cURL will connect to the UNIX domain socket instead of
establishing a TCP connection to a host. Since no TCP connection is established,

cURL does not need to resolve the DNS hostname in the URL.

might be even less.

Given that you have an nginx server running, listening on /tmp/nginx.sock, you
can request a HTTP resource with:
.nf
curl_easy_setopt(curl_handle, CURLOPT_UNIX_SOCKET_PATH, "/tmp/nginx.sock");
curl_easy_setopt(curl_handle, CURLOPT_URL, "http://localhost/");
.fi
If you are on Linux and somehow have a need for paths larger than 107 bytes, you
could use the proc filesystem to bypass the limitation:
.nf
int dirfd = open(long_directory_path_to_socket, O_DIRECTORY | O_RDONLY);
char path[108];
snprintf(path, sizeof(path), "/proc/self/fd/%d/nginx.sock", dirfd);
curl_easy_setopt(curl_handle, CURLOPT_UNIX_SOCKET_PATH, path);
/* Be sure to keep dirfd valid until you discard the handle */
