Hi,

in irc was the follwoing question:

can I also set nginx to listen on unix socket?

I have try this:

http{ server { listen unix:/home/al/nginx.sock; . . } }

But I get a listen on a "random" inet port:

--- netstat -anp|egrep nginx tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:41825 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 29319/nginx unix 3 [ ] STREAM CONNECTED 52464 29319/nginx unix 3 [ ] STREAM CONNECTED 52463 29319/nginx

Was listen designed to listen on unix-socket?!
