#### Using curl to debug plugin socket issues.
To verify if the plugin API socket that the docker daemon communicates with
is responsive, use curl. In this example, we will make API calls from the
docker host to volume and network plugins using curl 7.47.0 to ensure that
the plugin is listening on the said socket. For a well functioning plugin,
these basic requests should work. Note that plugin sockets are available on the host under `/var/run/docker/plugins/<pluginID>`
```bash
curl -H "Content-Type: application/json" -XPOST -d '{}' --unix-socket /var/run/docker/plugins/e8a37ba56fc879c991f7d7921901723c64df6b42b87e6a0b055771ecf8477a6d/plugin.sock http:/VolumeDriver.List
{"Mountpoint":"","Err":"","Volumes":[{"Name":"myvol1","Mountpoint":"/data/myvol1"},{"Name":"myvol2","Mountpoint":"/data/myvol2"}],"Volume":null}
```
```bash
curl -H "Content-Type: application/json" -XPOST -d '{}' --unix-socket /var/run/docker/plugins/45e00a7ce6185d6e365904c8bcf62eb724b1fe307e0d4e7ecc9f6c1eb7bcdb70/plugin.sock http:/NetworkDriver.GetCapabilities
{"Scope":"local"}
```
When using curl 7.5 and above, the URL should be of the form
`http://hostname/APICall`, where `hostname` is the valid hostname where the
plugin is installed and `APICall` is the call to the plugin API.
For example, `http://localhost/VolumeDriver.List`
