Not sure for the equivalent in C, but you can pass a custom SoupAddress
to SoupMessage based on a UNIX domain socket:

    var address = new GLib.UnixSocketAddress ("/path/to/socket");
    void* unix_sockaddr;
    size_t unix_sockaddr_len;
    address.to_native (unix_sockaddr, out unix_sockaddr_len);
    var session = new Soup.Session ("local-address", unix_sockaddr);

Did not test it, but it should work.

The code does not work since UNIX domain socket is not acceptable to build a SoupAddress.

There is an assertion in soup-address.c:
 #define SOUP_ADDRESS_FAMILY_IS_VALID(family) \
        (family == AF_INET || family == AF_INET6)

And "local-address" is not for this usage. The UNIX domain socket should be set as the remote address.
