Listen on socket instead of port

[alexhaydock]

Are there plans to allow server{} blocks to listen (for HTTP) on a UNIX socket rather than a port?

If this already exists, the listen on directive of the httpd.conf(5) man page could do with clarifying to reflect how sockets can be used.

Coming back to this old issue: what was your use case to listen for HTTP on a UNIX socket?

[alexhaydock]

I think my intent here was to deploy httpd as the webserver for a Tor Hidden Service.

It's useful to have the webserver upstream from the Tor process listening on a socket for that, but it's largely as a preventative measure against user-misconfiguration inadvertently exposing a listening port.
