cURL request to Unix socket from PHP

Question

How can I execute following curl call from PHP

curl --unix-socket /var/run/docker.sock http:/images/json

I went through this list of options available for curl_setopt but couldn't find any option related to above --unix-socket. I got above curl call from this answer.

Edit

From this blog article, can we somehow use CURLOPT_UNIX_SOCKET_PATH option in PHP?

This has been added in PHP version 7.0.7 with cURL 7.40.0. See the curl_setopt function page in the PHP manual and search for CURLOPT_UNIX_SOCKET_PATH.

I don't know if this would work, but have you tried fsockopen?

Something like this might work, I haven't tried it.

fsockopen on php.net

$fs = fsockopen('/var/run/docker.sock');

fwrite($fs, "GET / HTTP/1.1\r\nHOST: http:/images/json\r\n\r\n");

    while (!feof($fs)) {
        print fread($fs,256);
    }

feof on php.net
