Wouldn't a heuristic be enough here? if the host specified is the localhost then forst try to attach to a Unix domain socket, if that fails then try an IN connection to the localhost instead, the port number would become the socket's path. If this where ever used on plan9 the name would (I guess) become the name in /srv where the fd was posted. this way we have one uniform uri [sic]. -Steve
