Sander ran a test on Win32 and it gave an error when using socket(AF_UNIX...). So, there isn't a clean way to do this on native Win32. So, is it still worth it to introduce this in APR? I think so, but I'll defer to the consensus. I'd imagine that we could have APR_LOCAL/AF_UNIX map to named pipes on Win32. I'm not familiar enough with them on Win32 to know how closely they correspond to Unix domain sockets. From what little I've heard, I *think* they sound similar. I'm probably wrong. -- justin
