Apache and Unix domain sockets

[Bojan Smojver <bo...@rexursive.com>]

This might sound silly, but can one make Apache 2.0 listen to a Unix domain
socket instead of a TCP socket?

I looked through the code that has to do with sockets and it seemed as if that
was not possible at this point. But I might have missed something...

Thanks. I'll have a look there.

It is possible.  You will need to use connection-oriented UDP sockets, but
it can be done.  For an example of how to make the server listen on
non-TCP sockets, look at the perchild MPM, and how it deals with Unix
Domain sockets.
