Sorry I think there's been a misunderstanding. vsock sockets are roughly 
analogous to unix sockets in terms of their supported behavior. Like with unix 
sockets, curl could act as a client for the various http protocols that it 
supports. I am running an http server on a vsock socket, and I often use curl 
to interact with http servers, so I thought it would be convenient to support 
vsock sockets.
