Research direction

Start in entrypoint/main.go with the cgi.Handler routing shown in the report, then inspect how HostConfig is passed to the Docker client and how Docker 1.12+ handles it. Reproduce the failure with the /vote/ route under Docker 1.12 or later, and confirm done when the route runs without the HostConfig compatibility error.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

The routing used in entrypoint/main.go generally looks like:

http.Handle("/vote/", &dcgi.Handler{ Image: "noteoj/serverless-vote", Client: cli, HostConfig: hostConfig, Root: "/vote", // strip /vote from all URLs })

When run under Docker 1.12+ this results in some type of 'HostConfig no longer supported' error.
