Bug 143759

AFAIK iiimp-open-network-channel doesn't currently support connections
to unix domain sockets: so fixing this may have to wait for the next release
of Emacs.

You can hack iiimp-open-network-channel to use simple helper program which
connect to unix domain socket and relay it to stdin/out.
What you need is not just to wait for next relase of Emacs, but send request to
upstream author of iiimecf, I think.

A modification of iiimp.el is like as follows(not tested yet):

iiimp helper program

This is a trial version of helper program to support unix domain socket.
This is based on yc-el's icanna.c program.

For original bug report, we may enable tcp connection on iiimf when installing
iiimecf. To do so, uncomment below lines on /etc/iiim/htt.xml.conf
         <listen type="tcp">
            <hostname>localhost</hostname>
            <port>9010</port>
        </listen>
For security reason, it may not be recommended.

Patch to support unix domain socket

This is a patch to support unix domain socket. It works fine.
I modified iiimp.el and create new helper program 'udclient'.

udclient is a general purpose program to communicate with unix domain socket
data stream. It should install the path described in PATH.

user can use it with set (setq iiimcf-server-control-hostlist '("unix"))
Now it coflict with the server named "unix" so I need more work.

I test it with IIIMF trunk 2059 and ATOK X2 (Ver 17.0:most newest)

I want it to send upstreams directly.

diff of iiimf.spec from iiimf-12.1.1-10.svn2390 and mine

attachment 112505 [details] and this modification of spec file solves this bug without
waiting next release of Emacs.
A command to communicate with server through unix domain socket that Miura put
here is now inclueded in upstream source.
Thank you for nice job, Miura and iiimf developpers.

Jens, please review this one.

For testers:
Please set your ~/.emacs as following

;; use iiimf
(setq default-input-method 'iiim)
(setq iiimcf-server-control-hostlist '("unix/:9010"))

I think iiimcf-server-control-hostlist valiable should be added to
/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/site-start.d/iiimecf-init.el

The fix to contains udclient in the package was already in Fedora CVS
repository. it will be available next release. thank you for notifying us anyway.

Thanks - I committed this upstream in svn2428.

Right - though I had problems getting it working under rawhide so far...

should be fixed in 12.1.1-11.svn2435. confirmed it working on emacs.

Confirmed fixed. Tested with iiimf-12.2-3. Was able to load IIIMF and use Canna
LE via default unix socket.
