In bug 832000, it was agreed that adb/b2g debugging server connections should be made via Unix-domain sockets, not TCP sockets restricted to 127.0.0.1. This means that it would be nice to have something like nsIServerSocket that creates Unix-domain server sockets instead of INET-domain sockets. If we can get an nsISocketTransport instance for a Unix-domain socket, most of the existing debugging protocol code will just work.

Jim, are you planning to work on a patch here, or are you expecting Necko team to add this functionality?

I think I could write it, although bug 797627 needs to get done first, and that's not a small piece of work. If we can assign someone else to it, that'd be great.
