-### Unix domain sockets
-
-This library also supports connecting to a local Unix domain socket (UDS) path.
-You have to explicitly create a legacy [`Sender`](#sender) that passes every
-request through the given UNIX domain socket.
-For consistency reasons you still have to pass full HTTP URLs for every request,
-but the host and port will be ignored when establishing a connection.
-
-```php
-$path = 'unix:///tmp/daemon.sock';
-$sender = Sender::createFromLoopUnix($loop, $path);
-$client = new Browser($loop, $sender);
-
-$client->get('http://localhost/demo');
-```

 ### Options
 
 Note: This API is subject to change.
