Problem using UNIX domain socket

[swmoon203]

it fails on decoding message

var args = msgpack.decode(msg);

events.js:72
throw er; // Unhandled 'error' event
^
SyntaxError: Unexpected token �
at Object.parse (native)

How can I reproduce this? Could you explain the point of your PRs?

I ran Redis under unix domain socket

Emitter

var ioe = socketid_emitter({ socket: '/var/run/shm/redis.sock' });
ioe.of("/news").emit("update", message);

Reciver

var server = http.Server(app);
var io = socketio(server);
io.adapter(socketio_redis({ socket: '/var/run/shm/redis.sock' }));

Error log

events.js:72
        throw er; // Unhandled 'error' event
                 throw er; // Unhandled 'error' event
                   ^^

Hello, I found that if you use unix socket, will cause an error, it will not use tcp socket

[rauchg]

I removed the socket option, it made no sense

[goalsoft]

How would not make sense? Unix socket with faster

[rauchg]

Because in any case it should be two sockets, considering we need to open connections to Redis.
