=================
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 is hijacked to transport stdout stdin and stderr
2. Version
==========
The current verson of the API is 1.1
Calling /images/<name>/insert is the same as calling /v1.1/images/<name>/insert
You can still call an old version of the api using /v1.0/images/<name>/insert
3. 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
* If in detached mode or only stdin is attached:
* Display the container's id
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.
