Connect to ws+unix:///tmp/some.sock

Is it possible to connect to a UDS based websocket (spawned by e.g. hyperlocal)?

[de-vri-es]

This crate is for accepting websocket connections in a hyper based server. It is not for connecting to servers.

But that said, if hyper supports Unix sockets, then I think it should work here too.

hyperlocal supports UDS and binds to a UDS indeed.
So i guess I need a way to bridge hyperlocal <> tokio-tungstenite to get a websocket over a UDS-based socket...

[de-vri-es]

It should be possible, the only thing tokio-tungstenite wants is for the underlying socket to be AsyncRead + AsyncWrite + Unpin: https://docs.rs/tokio-tungstenite/latest/tokio_tungstenite/struct.WebSocketStream.html#method.from_raw_socket

[de-vri-es]

Btw, I would be open to adding support for hyperlocal with a feature flag if needed. Does hyperlocal reuse the existing hyper::Request type or does it have it's own?

/edit: But judging from the example, everything should just work out of the box: https://docs.rs/hyperlocal/latest/hyperlocal/trait.UnixServerExt.html
