Description
This issue has been migrated from [#16399](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/16399).
---
**Description:**
When the URL provided in an appservice-registration is a unix socket of the schema `unix:/path/to.sock`, the server refuses to connect and reports "Unsupported schema: 'unix'".
For deployments where appservices are on the same machine as the server, it would make sense to enable this functionality.
(Since this seems to be handled specifically by the server, I assume it's not a bug.)
