We've talked with Simon on irc and he promised to try to plug
ngx_parse_url() instead. Keeping in mind that this will change
syntax for unix sockets ("unix:/path" instead of "/path") - it's
probably good idea to wait for updated patch.
Or your "I will include it" as usual means "I'll rewrite it from
scratch and include rewritten version instead"? ;)
