+======================
+Docker Remote API v1.5
+======================

+.. contents:: Table of Contents
+
+1. Brief introduction
+=====================
+
+- The Remote API is replacing rcli
+- Default port in the docker daemon 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

+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 version of the API, /attach, uses hijacking to transport stdin, stdout and stderr on the same socket. This might change in the future.
+
+3.3 CORS Requests
+-----------------
+
+To enable cross origin requests to the remote api add the flag "-api-enable-cors" when running docker in daemon mode.
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+   docker -d -H="192.168.1.9:4243" -api-enable-cors
