 // TODO Windows. Identify bug in GOLang 1.5.1+ and/or Windows Server 2016 TP5.
eb2acb8f
 // @jhowardmsft, @swernli.
 //
 // On Windows, this mitigates a problem with the default options of running
331c8a86
 // a docker client against a local docker daemon on TP5.
eb2acb8f
 //
 // What was found that if the default host is "localhost", even if the client
 // (and daemon as this is local) is not physically on a network, and the DNS
 // cache is flushed (ipconfig /flushdns), then the client will pause for
 // exactly one second when connecting to the daemon for calls. For example
 // using docker run windowsservercore cmd, the CLI will send a create followed
 // by an attach. You see the delay between the attach finishing and the attach
 // being seen by the daemon.
 //
 // Here's some daemon debug logs with additional debug spew put in. The
 // AfterWriteJSON log is the very last thing the daemon does as part of the
 // create call. The POST /attach is the second CLI call. Notice the second
 // time gap.

 // We suspect this is either a bug introduced in GOLang 1.5.1, or that a change
331c8a86
 // in GOLang 1.5.1 (from 1.4.3) is exposing a bug in Windows. In theory,
eb2acb8f
 // the Windows networking stack is supposed to resolve "localhost" internally,
 // without hitting DNS, or even reading the hosts file (which is why localhost
 // is commented out in the hosts file on Windows).
 //
 // We have validated that working around this using the actual IPv4 localhost
 // address does not cause the delay.
 //
 // This does not occur with the docker client built with 1.4.3 on the same
331c8a86
 // Windows build, regardless of whether the daemon is built using 1.5.1
eb2acb8f
 // or 1.4.3. It does not occur on Linux. We also verified we see the same thing
 // on a cross-compiled Windows binary (from Linux).
 //
 // Final note: This is a mitigation, not a 'real' fix. It is still susceptible
331c8a86
 // to the delay if a user were to do 'docker run -H=tcp://localhost:2375...'
eb2acb8f
