Specifically, when the client detects a unix:// connection, it automatically changes the host to localhost:2375. This behavior causes issues when the Docker host is intended to be a Unix socket, and not TCP.\n\nThis seems to be problematic both on Linux and Windows environments, as it tries to connect to the wrong endpoint (localhost), resulting in the following error:\n\n```\nHttpHostConnectException: Connect to unix://localhost:2375 failed: Connection refused\n```\n\nInterestingly, this issue does not occur when using the OkHttpDockerHttpClient. The OkHttp client correctly handles the unix:// scheme without trying to alter the connection to localhost, which resolves the issue.\n\nIt would be great if we could review and potentially update the handling of unix:// connections in ApacheDockerHttpClient to prevent this automatic conversion to localhost.\n\nLet me know if you need any further details or assistance on this.\n\nBest regards,\nLuis Miguel Vasquez\nJava Developer","author":{"url":"https://github.com/latamsystems","@type":"Person","name":"latamsystems"},"datePublished":"2025-02-15T21:39:06.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":9},"url":"https://github.com/2380/docker-java/issues/2380"}
