Great job,but some time not work

[dearvcc]

I try this to forward a docker request from local docker client to a remote docker engine such as : tcp://remote:2375,some simple command work,such as: docker -H localhost ps docker -H localhost version but many complicated command don't,such as: docker -H localhost exec container-name ls it response nothing,the debug output looks like below:

If we directly access the remote Docker engine using the the command below,the response is ok:

docker -H remote exec container-name ls

I have no idea how to improve it,maybe you can help me,thank you very much!

In the function forward_request https://github.com/SubrataSarkar32/local-flask-forward-proxy/blob/eb84c3faa8687d34ed50151c77b9f6ad308d3390/local_flask_proxy_all.py#L63

You can add a check for json parsable output and format and print it if you want

Sample code to be inserted after https://github.com/SubrataSarkar32/local-flask-forward-proxy/blob/eb84c3faa8687d34ed50151c77b9f6ad308d3390/local_flask_proxy_all.py#L74

if response.headers.get('content-type') == 'application/json':
    print(response.json())

You can then parse this json data and output only the required values. You can try running this and let me know if you are getting your desired output.

I have tried,furthermore, I traced many times,I think maybe not involved with json format. As if simple requests such as "docker ps,docker version" responsing json data format,but complicated requests will addtional use application/vnd.docker.raw-stream format.

I suggest you to install a Docker instance th have a try. Docker can be configed to expose a TCP port (2375) for remotely operating by RESTful APIs.The regular usage is:

docker -H docer-server-name-or-ip version

The default port(2375) can be omitted. And now,we will do the same thing by you proxy code,like this, to pretend that we run them on the same machine:

docker -H localhost:5000 version I modify your code to adapt this:

target_url_with_path = f'http://va:2375/{subpath}' ... target_url = f'http://va:2375/{subpath.split("/")[0]}'

Herer "va" is the host which the Docker server engine is running.

Above is my test platform.

Thanks a million for your response!
