thanks for investigating this.

it's a bit hard to judge what's going on.

- Can you see from the wireshark log which page is being requested?
  If the request make it through to the docker instance, but the desired
  page is not available, the requested URL could be wrong for some
  reason.
- If you post your Dockerfile somewhere, we can try to reproduce
  your issue.
