+## Unix Domain Sockets
+
+You can configure an `httpx` client to connect through a unix domain socket via the `uds` parameter. This is useful when making requests to a server that is bound to a socket file rather than an IP address.
+
+Here's an example requesting the Docker Engine API:
+
+```python
+import httpx
+
+
+with httpx.Client(uds="/var/run/docker.sock") as client:
+    # This request will connect through the socket file.
+    resp = client.get("http://localhost/version")
+```
+
 ## HTTP Proxying
 
 HTTPX supports setting up proxies the same way that Requests does via the `proxies` parameter.

+## FAQ
+
+### When should I use an `AsyncClient`?
+
+You should use an `AsyncClient` whenever you are inside an *async environment*.
+
+In particular, using `httpx.get()` or `httpx.Client()` in an async environment is **not** supported. There are several technical reasons to this, but the rationale is that you shouldn't be doing blocking-style network calls in the context of an event loop (for more discussion, see [#179](https://github.com/encode/httpx/issues/179)).
+
+For example, this won't work:
+
+```python
+import asyncio
+import httpx
+
+async def main():
+    r = httpx.get("https://example.org")
+
+asyncio.run(main())
+```
+
+Instead, you should use an `AsyncClient`:
+
+```python
+import asyncio
+import httpx
+
+async def main():
+    async with httpx.AsyncClient() as client:
+        r = await client.get("https://example.org")
+
+asyncio.run(main())
+```
+
+If you *need* to make synchronous requests, or otherwise run into issues related to sync usage, you should probably consider using a regular threaded client such as [Requests](https://github.com/psf/requests) instead.

Python 3.7: RuntimeError: read() called while another coroutine is already waiting for incoming data 
As we already discussed with @florimondmanca in https://github.com/encode/httpx/issues/382, I am reporting this issue here. 

I get the following error: `RuntimeError: read() called while another coroutine is already waiting for incoming data` when I am sending images to the server. As you can see from the code it is implemented that only max 100 requests are sent to the server at the same time. I know there could be lazy loading used but the limitation is made custom because before we send images to the server we check whether they are in the local cache or not. The limit of 100 is set that not all images are loaded in the memory at the same time (there can be also 10000 images).

Here is the trace:

The minimum example that reproduces the error is here:

```
import asyncio
import pickle

import httpx


class SendRequests:
    num_parallel_requests = 0
    MAX_PARALLEL = 100

    async def embedd_batch(self):
        requests = []
        async with httpx.AsyncClient(
                timeout=httpx.TimeoutConfig(timeout=60),
                base_url="https://api.garaza.io/") as client:
            for i in range(1000):
                requests.append(self._send_to_server(client))

            embeddings = await asyncio.gather(*requests)

        return embeddings

    async def __wait_until_released(self):
        while self.num_parallel_requests >= self.MAX_PARALLEL:
            await asyncio.sleep(0.1)

    async def _send_to_server(self, client):
        await self.__wait_until_released()

        self.num_parallel_requests += 1
        # simplified image loading 
        with open("image.pkl", "rb") as f:
            im = pickle.load(f)
        url = "/image/inception-v3?machine=1&session=1&retry=0"
        emb = await self._send_request(client, im, url)
        self.num_parallel_requests -= 1
        return emb

    async def _send_request(self, client, image, url):
        headers = {'Content-Type': 'image/jpeg',
                   'Content-Length': str(len(image))}
        response = await client.post(url, headers=headers, data=image)
        print(response.content)
        return response


if __name__ == "__main__":
    cl = SendRequests()
    asyncio.get_event_loop().run_until_complete(cl.embedd_batch())
```

All advice about this error is welcome. I tried to debug this error by myself but was not successful.
