feat: Add Unix socket support for HTTP storage backend #1659
Conversation
Add http+unix:// URL scheme for connecting to HTTP cache servers via Unix domain sockets, similar to the existing redis+unix:// support. URL format: http+unix:/path/to/socket?path=/optional/http/path

Thanks for the PR. Could you explain your use case for using a local HTTP server over a UNIX domain socket? |
|
Ahh yeah, so we have some containerized builds where we turn off network access, so this would be to allow bind-mounting in a unix domain socket to allow access a remote cache. |

I see, thanks. The reason I'm asking is that the next ccache release will include experimental support for #1214. If that works out well, my plan is to remove the built-in HTTP support altogether, so I'm hesitant to add built-in support for http+unix only to remove it again later. Once the implementation of #1214 is in place, it will be possible to run an HTTP storage helper on the container host and bind-mount its Unix domain socket into the container for similar effect to http+unix. |
