Possible to use over tcp?

[theunknownport]

How can I interact with the runtime api over tcp?

I've created a fork https://github.com/theunknownport/client-native where I just override the net.DialTimeout Function

-	if api, err = net.DialTimeout("unix", s.socketPath, taskTimeout); err != nil {
+	if api, err = net.DialTimeout("tcp", s.socketPath, taskTimeout); err != nil {

My haproxy config

global
    stats socket [email protected]:9999 level admin
    stats socket /var/run/haproxy-runtime-api.sock mode 666 level admin
    stats timeout 2m
defaults 
    timeout connect 5s
    timeout client 1m
    timeout server 1m

listen stats
    bind *:8080
    mode http
    stats enable
    stats uri /stats

My code to interact with the api

func ConnectHaProxy(ctx context.Context) (configuration.Configuration, error) {
	confClient, _ := configuration.New(context.Background(),
		cfg_opt.ConfigurationFile("/usr/local/etc/haproxy/haproxy.cfg"),
		cfg_opt.UsePersistentTransactions,
		cfg_opt.MasterWorker,
		cfg_opt.UseMd5Hash,
	)

	// runtime
	// import runtime_options "github.com/haproxytech/client-native/v4/runtime/options"
	// or if not using master-worker
	socketList := map[int]string{
		1: "127.0.0.1:9999",
	}
	sockets := runtime_options.Sockets(socketList)
	runtimeClient, _ := runtime_api.New(ctx, sockets)
	// end runtime

	// import "github.com/haproxytech/client-native/v4/options"
	opt := []options.Option{
		options.Configuration(confClient),
		options.Runtime(runtimeClient),
	}

	// combine all together and create a client
	client, err := client_native.New(ctx, opt...)
	if err != nil {
		log.Fatalf("Error initializing configuration client: %v", err)
	}
	c, err := client.Configuration()
	if err != nil {
		log.Fatalf("Error initializing configuration client: %v", err)
	}
	t, err := c.StartTransaction(1)
	if err != nil {
		log.Fatalf("Error initializing configuration client: %v", err)
	}
	c.IncrementVersion()
	_, b, err := c.GetBackends(t.ID)
	if err != nil {
		log.Fatalf("Error initializing configuration client: %v", err)
	}
	fmt.Print(b)
	// fetch configuration handler
	return client.Configuration()
}

But when I run the code I always get option is not available at client.Configuration().

Sorry if this issue seems annoying but I'm not so experience at coding in go yet, just started a month ago. I have my use case of interacting with the haproxy api via an external go program, maybe someone can help me with that.

Thanks in advance.
