Yes, thanks Daniel, that does help. I guess you're asking if Yaws FCGI
support can handle UNIX domain sockets? If so, then no, at least not easily
-- to the best of my knowledge Erlang supplies only an old experimental
driver for UNIX domain sockets, and I don't know how well or even if it
works as I've never used it. But I know Erlang drivers pretty well, so it
might be possible to add such support, depending on how soon you're looking
for it.
