What steps will reproduce the bug?
Currently, Windows (at least .NET) supports connect to UnixDomainSocket, or listen to UnixDomainSocket in ASP.NET Core. But node's net module seems not support connect to a Windows local file.
public class UnixDomainSocketsConnectionFactory(EndPoint endPoint) {
public async ValueTask<Stream> ConnectAsync(SocketsHttpConnectionContext _,
CancellationToken cancellationToken = default) {
var socket = new Socket(AddressFamily.Unix, SocketType.Stream, ProtocolType.Unspecified);
try {
await socket.ConnectAsync(endPoint, cancellationToken).ConfigureAwait(false);
return new NetworkStream(socket, true);
} catch {
socket.Dispose();
throw;
}
}
public static GrpcChannel CreateChannel(string socketPath) {
var udsEndPoint = new UnixDomainSocketEndPoint(socketPath);
var connectionFactory = new UnixDomainSocketsConnectionFactory(udsEndPoint);
var socketsHttpHandler = new SocketsHttpHandler {
ConnectCallback = connectionFactory.ConnectAsync
};
return GrpcChannel.ForAddress("http://localhost", new GrpcChannelOptions {
HttpHandler = socketsHttpHandler
});
}
}
protected void Initialize(string token) {
var builder = WebApplication.CreateBuilder();
builder.WebHost.ConfigureKestrel(serverOptions => {
if (!Directory.Exists(MetaBoxStatic.UnixSocketPath)) {
Directory.CreateDirectory(MetaBoxStatic.UnixSocketPath);
}
var socketPath = Path.Combine(MetaBoxStatic.UnixSocketPath, $"MetaBox-{token}.tmp");
serverOptions.ListenUnixSocket(socketPath);
serverOptions.ConfigureEndpointDefaults(listenOptions => { listenOptions.Protocols = HttpProtocols.Http2; });
});
ConfigureBuilder(builder);
builder.Services.PostConfigureAll<HostOptions>(opts => opts.ShutdownTimeout = TimeSpan.FromSeconds(1));
WebApp = builder.Build();
ConfigureApp(WebApp);
}
How often does it reproduce? Is there a required condition?
Always
What is the expected behavior? Why is that the expected behavior?
The net connects to the "Windows" UnixDomainSocket as it could.
What do you see instead?
EACCESS / ENOENT

Research direction
Start with Node.js's net module handling of Unix domain sockets on Windows and reproduce the failure using the supplied Windows and .NET examples. Done means Node can connect to and listen on the Windows UnixDomainSocket, with the reported EACCESS and ENOENT errors resolved; add or run the relevant platform-specific tests if available.
