 * Hello,
 * Thanks for this great app. When using Redis Object Cache I can use a redis server
   socket for more speed compared to the IP layer.
 * Now this is the code block:
 *     ```
       define('WP_CACHE_KEY_SALT', 'xxxxxxx.nl');
       define( 'WP_REDIS_SCHEME', 'unix' );
       define( 'WP_REDIS_PATH', '/var/run/redis/redis.sock' );
       define( 'WP_REDIS_PASSWORD', 'xxxxxxxxxxxxx' );
       ```
   
 * I cant just paste the socket path in the webgui Redis hostname:port section, 
   it will not work.
 * Can i just change these lines to work:?
    [https://github.com/W3EDGE/w3-total-cache/wiki/FAQ:-Installation:-Redis-Server](https://github.com/W3EDGE/w3-total-cache/wiki/FAQ:-Installation:-Redis-Server)
 * Like this:
    define( ‘W3TC_CONFIG_CACHE_REDIS_SCHEME’, ‘unix’ ); define( ‘W3TC_CONFIG_CACHE_REDIS_PATH’,‘/
   var/run/redis/redis.sock’ );

 * Hello,
    This is not supported yet with W3 Total Cache. Spoke with the team and
   this will be supported in future releases.
