I tried to downgrade my docker version, but the same error persists.

Here are the docker version details:

Does anyone have an idea about what is happening?

I recently bumped into the same error. I ran the following command

and I get the following

http: invalid Host header

After a bit of troubleshooting, it seems to be a problem with the latest stable version of Docker (20.10.24 dated 2023-10-30).

I fixed the problem by installing the latest edge version (24.0.5 dated 2023-10-07).

If you have Docker installed as a snap, you can do the following

sudo snap refresh docker --channel=latest/edge
