<directive>ProxyPass</directive>.</note>
<p>Support for using a Unix Domain Socket is available by using a target
- of <code>|sock:/path/lis.sock</code>. For example, to target the
- UDS at /home/www/socket you would use
- <code>http://localhost/|sock:/home/www.socket</code></p>
+ which appends <code>|sock:/path/lis.sock</code>. For example, to proxy
+ HTTP and target the UDS at /home/www/socket you would use
+ <code>http://localhost/|sock:/home/www.socket</code>.</p>
+
+ <note><strong>Note: </strong>When using Unix Domain Sockets, the hostname and path
+ associated with the 1st URL (<code>http://localhost/<code> in the above
+ example) is ignored; the path associated with the <code>sock:<code>
+ URL is <directive>DefaultRuntimeDir</directive> aware.</note>
<p>Suppose the local server has address <code>http://example.com/</code>;
then</p>
