I'm curious if it is possible to map a UNIX socket on to an INET socket. The situation is simply that I'd like to connect to a MySQL server.

I'm trying to use unix sockets and SOCK_DGRAM in ruby, but am having a really hard time figuring out how to do it. So far, I've been trying things like this: sock_path = 'test.socket' s1 = Socket.new(Socket::AF_UNIX, Socket::SOCK_DGRAM, 0) s1.bind(Socket.pack_sockaddr_un(sock_path)) s2 = Socket.new(Socket::AF_UNIX, Socket::SOCK_DGRAM,...
