Screen shot showing the Error box

When you try to use the office FilePicker to select a socket, the FilePicker
shows an error box telling that the file doesn't exist or is corrupt.

Expected behavior: the socket file exists, the FilePicker should allow to
select it.

I get the KDE4 File Picker both times and it allows me to select the socket all
right.

Right, both KDE and GTK file pickers allow socket selection, it's only the
office file picker (Tools - Options - OOo - General - Use OOo dialogs).

Text document with AOO Basic macro

The macro executes the Office FilePicker to test socket selection.
Then it tries with the Gtk FilePicker

This test is valid for Linux only: it searches for the MySQL server socket in
the default directories.
I'm not sure you can find a socket on Windows by browsing with a FilePicker.

The reason for this bug is that, for Office FilePicker, the socket doesn't
exist, see 

bExists = pThis->m_aContent.is( aFileObj.GetMainURL( INetURLObject::NO_DECODE )
);

in
http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/incubator/ooo/trunk/main/fpicker/source/office/iodlg.cxx?revision=1198248&view=markup#l1289

The SmartContent (fpicker/source/office/fpsmartcontent.hxx|cxx) is not *that*
smart: a file "is" only if it is a "document" or a "folder".

But it's not its fault; here the one to blame is the File Content Provider: it
doesn't take into account sockets (while the underlying code in osl does).
(ucb/source/ucp/file/ specially shell.hxx|cxx)

This propagates to the SimpleFileAccess API: a socket doesn't exist according
to XSimpleFileAccess::exists().
