On docker 1.12 (API v1.24) and older, the `SecurityOptions` field of the
`/info` response would only list names of the security options that are
enabled in the daemon. API v1.25 added additional information to this
information. Initially, this included a change to return the information
in structured format (b237189e6c), which
was a backward-incompatible change, so an alternative format was introduced
in 514ca09426 to used a string-slice, but
prefixing options with `name=`, followed by the name of the security-options
and any config options related to it as `key[=<value>]` pairs.
On current API versions:
curl -s --unix-socket /var/run/docker.sock 'http://localhost/v1.51/info' | jq .SecurityOptions
[
"name=seccomp,profile=builtin",
"name=cgroupns"
]
On API version v1.24:
curl -s --unix-socket /var/run/docker.sock 'http://localhost/v1.24/info' | jq .SecurityOptions
[
"seccomp",
"cgroupns"
]
The Docker CLI unconditionally handles either format when presenting the
information; for backward-compatibility, it contains fallback code to handle
cases where no `name=` prefix is present, but this logic is not based on
API version.
Given that any current version of the CLI is handling either format, and
versions of the CLI that did not have this handling are at least 9 Years
old (and long EOL), removing the old format is unlikely to be causing
issues and we can remove this special handling, and return the information
in the current format.
If we consider this information to be relevant for clients, we should
ultimately consider making it available in a more structured format as
was the original intent of b237189e6c.
