Description:
------------
Support using Unix sockets to access HTTP servers.  Lighttpd and Nginx already support these, but there is no consensus about how URLs are to be formed.

Taking a hint from IETF RFC 2732, Webkit should make the HTTP request over unix sockets should the hostname of the URL be "localhost" and the port be the socket path encapsulated by square brackets. (ie [ ])

Sorry, I've been sending bug reports to everyone.  PHP should be recognizing these requests, not Webkit.

And yes, I have an interest in this because I wanted to have localized (not public) services such as a Perl-based Markdown pharser and HTML Sanitizer on a unix socket via HTTP.  I'm using Lighttpd as a server.
