Description

Many organizations are now applying more aggressive outbound blocking of network requests, every to the point of blocking all outbound traffic unless specifically whitelisted. It would be good if there were a command line flag available on docker pull such that you can force it to print out the host/ip and port of any outbound requests. This would make it easier to work with security teams to get all of the necessary destinations correctly whitelisted.
