Description
Please support Linux abstract namespace socket, which is like Unix domain socket, but doesnot create a file.
My special setup is that, we have many websites in the same machine, each website can have 2 socket files to be connected by Nginx (one for HTTP, one for WebSocket).
Because of the large amount of websites, we don't use port number, which is difficult to maintain (after a while, we cannot remember which website holds which port), so we use unix domain socket, shared the name with the web app.
There is small problem with Unix domain socket is that, the file creation needs permission, and problem with file deletion. So it would be nice if Nginx support Linux's abstract namespace socket.
