Session (experimental)
Start a new interactive session with a server. Session allows server to call back to the client for advanced capabilities.
Note: This endpoint is experimental and only available if the daemon is started with experimental
features enabled. The specifications for this endpoint may still change in a future version of the API.

Hijacking#

This endpoint hijacks the HTTP connection to HTTP2 transport that allows the client to expose gPRC services on that connection.
For example, the client sends this request to upgrade the connection:
POST /session HTTP/1.1
Upgrade: h2c
Connection: Upgrade
The Docker daemon will respond with a 101 UPGRADED response follow with the raw stream:
HTTP/1.1 101 UPGRADED
Connection: Upgrade
Upgrade: h2c
Request Request Example
Shell
JavaScript
Java
Swift
curl --location --request POST '/v1.33/session'
