I tried to change the unix socket path but still same error

When i further test on keosd using http server address and result are unexcepted

2. Keosd - Unable to configure host to listen on any port

keosd --http-server-address http://127.0.0.1:8899

Error

error 2018-12-03T12:56:13.410 thread-0  http_plugin.cpp:425           plugin_initialize    ] failed to configure http to listen on http://127.0.0.1:8899 (resolve: Service not found)

EOSIO v1.5.0-rc2 and tried on v1.4.4

Answer 1

If i don't run keosd and run that command

cleos --print-request --print-response wallet list

That is the result i get from console that clearly tell me it's not using ip/port but unix socket as a host

Wallets:
REQUEST:
---------------------
POST /v1/wallet/list_wallets HTTP/1.0
Host: /home/user/eosio-wallet/keosd.sock:
content-length: 0
Accept: */*
Connection: close


---------------------
RESPONSE:
---------------------
[]
---------------------
[]

It doesn't work with absolute Path yet so i tried with relative Path to keosd data-dir and it worked

cleos --wallet-url unix://keosd.sock wallet list

Wallets:
[
  "default"
]

For the Second Question, someone told me to not write http, i.e

keosd --http-server-address 127.0.0.1:8899

I don't know why they remove it and what is the reason behind that?
