Sorry I think there's been a misunderstanding. vsock sockets are roughly analogous to unix sockets in terms of their supported behavior. Like with unix sockets, curl could act as a client for the various http protocols that it supports. I am running an http server on a vsock socket, and I often use curl to interact with http servers, so I thought it would be convenient to support vsock sockets.
