Motivation
Currently parseUrl is an incomplete parser of the url subset of connection strings, ommiting support for the otherwise supportes unix domain socket connection.
As a connection string parser, it is not clear why it should be limited to URLs only and this seems like a debt to legacy code rather than an intended design decision.
Making unix domain socket connection strings harder to work with discourages their use.
Basic Code Example
/*
unix://[user:secret@]/path/to/sock[?db=0]
redis://[user:secret@]localhost:6379/0
rediss://[user:secret@]localhost:6379/0
*/
client = redis.createClient({ url: connStr, ...options });See redis-py support
