Dear APR Support Team,some time ago I made the strategic decision to port my software: http://libmsgque.sourceforge.net/ to APR by able to use all of the nice features. Some days ago I finally start to do this job ... but today I got a massive disappointment ... You ask why ? It's the UNIX Domain Socket issue !!! well Unix-Domains are very beautiful in terms of usability you only have to create the "sockaddr_un" as part of "sockaddr" and you can use the same code you allready written for network sockets to use local sockets The main advantages are: 1. 50% faster as network sockets (on linux) 2. absolute secure -> no network access now the problem: APR does not support Unix Domain Sockets
Check out this: <https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/httpd/httpd/trunk/modules/proxy/mod_proxy_fdpass.c> It provides a few functions and boxes a UDS in and out of an apr_socket. -Paul
