.TH CURLOPT_UNIX_SOCKET_PATH 3 "09 Oct 2014" libcurl libcurl
|
||
|
|
.SH NAME
|
||
|
|
CURLOPT_UNIX_SOCKET_PATH \- Unix domain socket
|
||
|
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
||
|
|
.nf
|
||
|
|
#include <curl/curl.h>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_UNIX_SOCKET_PATH, char *path);
|
||
|
|
.fi
|
||
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
||
|
|
Enables the use of Unix domain sockets as connection endpoint and sets the
|
||
|
|
path to \fIpath\fP. If \fIpath\fP is NULL, then Unix domain sockets are
|
||
|
|
disabled.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
When enabled, curl connects to the Unix domain socket instead of establishing
|
||
|
|
a TCP connection to the host. Since no network connection is created, curl
|
||
|
|
does not resolve the DNS hostname in the URL.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The maximum path length on Cygwin, Linux and Solaris is 107. On other platforms
|
||
|
|
it might be even less.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Proxy and TCP options such as \fICURLOPT_TCP_NODELAY(3)\fP are not
|
||
|
|
supported. Proxy options such as \fICURLOPT_PROXY(3)\fP have no effect either
|
||
|
|
as these are TCP-oriented, and asking a proxy server to connect to a certain
|
||
|
|
Unix domain socket is not possible.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The application does not have to keep the string around after setting this
|
||
|
|
option.
|
||
|
|
.SH DEFAULT
|
||
|
|
Default is NULL, meaning that no Unix domain sockets are used.
|
||
|
|
.SH PROTOCOLS
|
||
|
|
All protocols except for FILE and FTP are supported in theory. HTTP, IMAP,
|
||
|
|
POP3 and SMTP should in particular work (including their SSL/TLS variants).
|
||
|
|
.SH EXAMPLE
|
||
|
|
Given that you have an HTTP server running listening on /tmp/httpd.sock, you
|
||
|
|
can request an HTTP resource with:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
.nf
|
||
|
|
curl_easy_setopt(curl_handle, CURLOPT_UNIX_SOCKET_PATH, "/tmp/httpd.sock");
|
||
|
|
curl_easy_setopt(curl_handle, CURLOPT_URL, "http://localhost/");
|
||
|
|
.fi
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you are on Linux and somehow have a need for paths larger than 107 bytes,
|
||
|
|
you could use the proc filesystem to bypass the limitation:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
.nf
|
||
|
|
int dirfd = open(long_directory_path_to_socket, O_DIRECTORY | O_RDONLY);
|
||
|
|
char path[108];
|
||
|
|
snprintf(path, sizeof(path), "/proc/self/fd/%d/httpd.sock", dirfd);
|
||
|
|
curl_easy_setopt(curl_handle, CURLOPT_UNIX_SOCKET_PATH, path);
|
||
|
|
/* Be sure to keep dirfd valid until you discard the handle */
|
||
|
|
.fi
|
||
|
|
.SH AVAILABILITY
|
||
|
|
Added in 7.40.0.
|
||
|
|
.SH RETURN VALUE
|
||
|
|
Returns CURLE_OK if the option is supported, and CURLE_UNKNOWN_OPTION if not.
