When your i2Rest Server instance and its clients both located on the same IBM i server, it is reasonable to use file: protocol. For example, you can use this protocol for management gate, to perform management functions using local i2Rest Client. i2Rest Server is able to listen incoming requests at some unix socket defined as a file at IFS. In this case, the server will not be accessible externally. i2Rest Server uses temporary file: endpoints when it can't find configuration for some gate. Temporary file: endpoints are created at /tmp folder, for example /tmp/AS5WRD7DCJ
