Docker Remote API
=================
.. contents:: Table of Contents
1. Brief introduction
=====================
- The Remote API is replacing rcli
- Default port in the docker deamon is 4243
- The API tends to be REST, but for some complex commands, like attach or pull, the HTTP connection in hijacked to transport stdout stdin and stderr
2. Endpoints

3. Going further
================
3.1 Inside 'docker run'
-----------------------
Here are the steps of 'docker run' :
* Create the container
* If the status code is 404, it means the image doesn't exists:
* Try to pull it
* Then retry to create the container
* Start the container
* If you are not in detached mode:
* Attach to the container, using logs=1 (to have stdout and stderr from the container's start) and stream=1
* Call /wait to get the exit code and exit with it
3.2 Hijacking
-------------
In this first version of the API, some of the endpoints, like /attach, /pull or /push uses hijacking to transport stdin,
stdout and stderr on the same socket. This might change in the future.
