Unix Domain Socket Example

HTTPX does not provide Unix domain socket (AF_UNIX) listeners or dialing: Server binds TCP (host/port, .port = 0 for ephemeral) and the client dials TCP champions. For same-machine IPC, bind to loopback instead:

var server = try httpx.Server.init(allocator, io, .{
    .host = "127.0.0.1",
    .port = 0,
});
defer server.deinit();
const port = server.localPort();

Expected Output

(no output - snippet only binds an ephemeral loopback port)

This snippet produces no printed output; the ephemeral loopback port varies per run. Loopback only, no external prerequisites.

See TCP Local for a loopback round trip and Simple Server for the standard lifecycle.
