Re: [whatwg/url] Addressing HTTP servers over Unix domain sockets (#577)

You ask the IETF, just like `.onion` did. Admittedly, there are some politics involved, but it's possible, and this is a pretty clearly technical use case. The backstop would be to use a subdomain of `.arpa`.

Personally, I'd go with something like:

> http://%2Ftmp%2Fmysock.uds/foo/bar

Yes, the escaping is ugly, but it's much cleaner than overloading IPV6 in URLs. Alternatively, you might be able to get away with:

> http://tmp.mysock.uds/foo/bar
