What would be the best way to specify version of docker api, so that go-dockerclient can adjust requests and response expectations accordingly? about go-dockerclient

Does NewVersionedClient (or some of the variants) work for you?

@fsouza I am not using the library directly, instead, another software Anax (open-horizon/anax) is using go-dockerclient. So interactions looks like this:

Docker Engine (calls are only forwarded if Shim does not want to respond directly) <-> Shim <-> Anax (software which is using go-dockerclient)

In this setup, is there a point in which go-dockerclient would send request to see what docker API version to use to interact with Docker Engine (in our case with Shim instead initially), so that Shim can interject can report its own supported docker API version?

OR

Whats the criteria used by go-dockerclient to decide which docker API version to use if NewVersionedClient is not used?

P.S. I accidentally closed the issue, so reopened.

Hmm, I think this should be an issue/feature-request in anax then.

Whats the criteria used by go-dockerclient to decide which docker API version to use if NewVersionedClient is not used?

In that case, go-dockerclient doesn't use versioned URLs, which means the latest supported by the remote Docker engine.

Understood. Thank you
