gRPC Request using Unix Domain Sockets on Windows

Describe the Issue

I've found a few sources that suggest that Unix Domain Sockets are supported as URL endpoints for gRPC requests on Postman, however all of the examples that I've seen use paths suggesting that the testing is being done on Linux or macOS.

Is it possible to test gRPC over a Unix Domain Socket on Windows by designating the file path in the URL field? If so, what would the format of the path look like for something on the C drive? If not, is that something that could possibly be added as a feature?

Steps To Reproduce

  1. Open a new gRPC request.
  2. Attempt to send a gRPC request through a Unix Domain Socket by designating the file in the URL.

Examples of URLs attempted:

  • c://temp/test.tmp
  • c:/temp/test.tmp
  • c/temp/test.tmp
  • /c/temp/test.tmp
  • grpc://c://temp/test.tmp
  • grpc://c:/temp/test.tmp
  • grpc://c/temp/test.tmp
  • grpc:///c/temp/test.tmp
  • unix://c://temp/test.tmp
  • unix://c:/temp/test.tmp
  • unix://c/temp/test.tmp
  • unix:///c/temp/test.tmp
