socket name of unix domain sockets

[timkuijsten]

It is currently impossible to get the path of a connected unix domain socket. socket.address() returns an empty object if it's not connected over AFINET.

I've looked at lib/net.js, src/tcp_wrap.cc, src/pipe_wrap.cc and libuv and it looks like libuv has support for returning the name of the socket and it is only pipe_wrap.cc that misses something like GetPeerName (I'm not a C coder so I might be wrong on this).

(also filed at nodejs/node-v0.x-archive#9120 a while ago)

Wow, until now I didn't know this issue was being worked on and solved. Great work and an example of how active this community is compared with joyent/node where this issue is still untouched.

Should this be reopened because the patch hasn't landed yet?

[silverwind]

Yeah I think so, sorry for prematurely closing this. PR is here: #956

[brendanashworth]

No problem, the patch almost went in before it was deemed semver-major anyways.
