Named Pipe status in .NET 5

[ZoeyR]

I know that allowing gRPC to work over named pipes was on the table for .net 5. Is there any status on that? I saw that UDS was implemented and has a working example but I can't find anything for named pipes.

Not yet, we're tracking server-side Kestrel support at dotnet/aspnetcore#14207

There are extension points in Kestrel and the gRPC client that means named pipes is possible today, but there is no sample at the moment. You would need to figure it out.

There are samples for UDS today. Note that UDS works in modern versions of Windows: https://devblogs.microsoft.com/commandline/af_unix-comes-to-windows/
