unclejack 73a277eb2f don't skip cert check for an example & use HTTPS
This changes two URLs from http to https and it fixes a Dockerfile to
stop skipping certificate validation. It also adds the ca-certificates
package to that Dockerfile example.

:title: Remote API
:description: API Documentation for Docker
:keywords: API, Docker, rcli, REST, documentation
.. COMMENT use https://pythonhosted.org/sphinxcontrib-httpdomain/ to
.. document the REST API.
=================
Docker Remote API
=================
1. Brief introduction
=====================
- The Remote API is replacing rcli
- By default the Docker daemon listens on unix:///var/run/docker.sock and the client must have root access to interact with the daemon
- If a group named *docker* exists on your system, docker will apply ownership of the socket to the group
- The API tends to be REST, but for some complex commands, like attach
or pull, the HTTP connection is hijacked to transport stdout stdin
and stderr
- Since API version 1.2, the auth configuration is now handled client
side, so the client has to send the authConfig as POST in
/images/(name)/push
2. Versions
===========
The current version of the API is 1.9
Calling /images/<name>/insert is the same as calling
/v1.9/images/<name>/insert
You can still call an old version of the api using
/v1.0/images/<name>/insert
v1.9
****
Full Documentation
------------------
:doc:`docker_remote_api_v1.9`
What's new
----------
.. http:post:: /build
**New!** This endpoint now takes a serialized ConfigFile which it uses to
resolve the proper registry auth credentials for pulling the base image.
Clients which previously implemented the version accepting an AuthConfig
object must be updated.
v1.8
****
Full Documentation
------------------
:doc:`docker_remote_api_v1.8`
What's new
----------
.. http:post:: /build
**New!** This endpoint now returns build status as json stream. In case
of a build error, it returns the exit status of the failed command.
.. http:get:: /containers/(id)/json
**New!** This endpoint now returns the host config for the container.
.. http:post:: /images/create
.. http:post:: /images/(name)/insert
.. http:post:: /images/(name)/push
**New!** progressDetail object was added in the JSON. It's now possible
to get the current value and the total of the progress without having to
parse the string.
v1.7
****
Full Documentation
------------------
:doc:`docker_remote_api_v1.7`
What's new
----------
.. http:get:: /images/json
The format of the json returned from this uri changed. Instead of an entry
for each repo/tag on an image, each image is only represented once, with a
nested attribute indicating the repo/tags that apply to that image.
Instead of:
.. sourcecode:: http
HTTP/1.1 200 OK

a header to each transmition. See :http:post:`/containers/(id)/attach`.
The WebSocket attach is unchanged.
Note that attach calls on the previous API version didn't change. Stdout and
stderr are merged.

intermediary buffers
- Simpler, less memory usage, less disk usage and faster
.. Warning::
The /build improvements are not reverse-compatible. Pre 1.3 clients
will break on /build.
List containers (/containers/json):

Start containers (/containers/<id>/start):
- You can now pass host-specific configuration (e.g. bind mounts) in
the POST body for start calls
