Show HN: ip2unix – Turn IP sockets into Unix domain sockets

Re:Show HN: ip2unix – Turn IP sockets into Unix domain sockets by tenebrisalietum on Wednesday July 08, 2020 @11:06AM (#23770599)

So how do I access a unix socket in my browser? Be nice if "unix://file/path.html" worked.

You could map different ports to specific socket file names and use a dummy address, eg. like this:

ip2unix -r out,addr=127.1.1.1,path=foo-%p.sock firefox --new-instance

Whenever you then head over to something like http://127.1.1.1:9000/, the browser will try to connect to foo-9000.sock.
