Plugin.Activate, 400 Bad Request: malformed Host header

[elezar]

When using the deb package to install nvidia-docker on a system running docker 1.9.1, the following message is presented when trying to start a container using nvidia-docker:

>nvidia-docker run nvida/cuda nvidia-smi
Error response from daemon: Error looking up volume plugin nvidia-docker: Plugin Error: Plugin.Activate, 400 Bad Request: malformed Host header

Upgrading to docker=1.10.3 solved this problem.

On production machines, we still have to use 1.9.1, so if 1.9 is really the minimum requirement it would be great if this would work. Alternatively, the wiki page should be updated.

This incompatibility is due to a breaking change in the Go http package.
Docker 1.9 is probably compiled against Go 1.5 while nvidia-docker is compiled against 1.6
Try changing FROM golang to FROM golang:1.5 here and rebuild nvidia-docker from sources

Thanks for the tip!

Sorry, did not want to close (it can be if you like).

Does it work? If it fixes the problem we might want to stick to Go 1.5

Hi, I have already solved the problem by upgrading docker. I will see if I can replicate and test the fix as soon as I have access to the system again.

I have just had a chance to test on another system that showed the same behaviour, and I can confirm that switching to the golang:1.5 base image no longer shows the message that I originally reported (and allows for docker 1.9.1 to be used).
