Connecting from a different Linux laptop using Gateway mode, I was getting long delays and then "a task was cancelled". This was coming from deep within the HTTP stack.
On closer inspection I could see that the client was trying to connect to https://10.0.75.1 - this is the Docker network.
In the GetDatabaseAccountAsync method the client connects to the gateway and enumerates the databases:
https://cosmosdb.test:8081/
The gateway returns a JSON response. This can be seen in Visual Studio Code with the following debug query:
System.Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetString(((System.IO.MemoryStream)documentServiceResponse.ResponseBody).ToArray())
The databaseAccountEndpoint property returns https://10.0.75.1:8081 and this is used to form subsequent responses.
