| + | |
| + | curl supports using a Unix domain socket path for speaking SOCKS to a proxy, |
| + | by providing a filename in the URL used for `-x` (`CURLOPT_PROXY`), but that |
| + | path cannot be a proper absolute Windows path with a drive letter etc. |
| + | |
| + | A solution for this probably requires that we add and provide a |
| + | `--unix-socket` (`CURLOPT_UNIX_SOCKET_PATH`) option alternative for proxy |
| + | communication. |
