UnixSocket

Dohttp provides feasibility to make requests to server exposed via unix socket.

What is unix socket?

for more information visit here

For supporting unix socket url has to be encoded to some thing like this

http+unix://%2Fvar%2Frun%2Fdocker.sock --^----------------^------------------- protocal path (actual path is /var/run/docker.sock, slashes are encoded to set in hostname)

protocal has to be http+unix

hostname has to be urlencoded or replace / with %2F (this is requried as dothttp has to figure out url path, having both same confuses)

@name("docker base")
# docker base
GET "http+unix://%2Fvar%2Frun%2Fdocker.sock"
@name("docker info"): "simple"
# info
GET "info"
@name("list images") : "simple"
# url extend should work
GET "/images/json"
