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

Isn't it simpler to consider a UNIX socket as a connection detail, then integrate it simply in configuration of connection proxy. This would let HTTP URI totally unchanged.

It would probably need a simple note to detail rules for HTTP over UNIX socket and specify some modifications to [Proxy auto-config](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proxy_auto-config), adding a new return type "UNIX" with the path to UNIX socket as host value.

A modification like that would be largely less intrusive that changing URL, but would provide the functionality in specification then could improve compatibility.

My two cents,
