Yes, it does seem that for local RPC a regular (unix domain) socket
should suffice
rather than a websocket.
Also, just to point out that Unix domain socket (channels) have been in
the JDK
since Java 16.

Hi Christos,
The HttpClient doesn't support Unix Domain Socket - only regular
TCP / TLS.
You could of course open a connection with your client using
a plain Unix Domain SocketChannel [1] using the UNIX
ProtocolFamilly [2].

Hello all,
we've a native application (in C) that exposes a json-rpc interface
over a Unix Domain Socket using websocket. I know that the upcoming
Java 17 release will include support for unix domain sockets and I'm
wondering if the included websocket client (since Java 11) will also
support this mechanism ?
If not planned, any advice on how you can achieve this today ?
* me hopes that I don't need to touch C code and continue with Java :-)
Kind regards,
