-A env variable, A1\_VERSION need to be passed to the container at start to select the desired interface version. The variable shall be set to one of the version-ids shown in the table in the first section. For example A1\_VERSIION=STD\_1.1.3.
-In docker run the full command could look like this 'docker run -it -p 8085:8085 -e A1\_VERSION=STD\_1.1.3 a1test' where the variable is set with the '-e' flag.

+An env variable, REMOTE_HOSTS_LOGGING, can be set (any value is ok) and the the counter remote\_hosts will log the host names of all remote hosts that has accessed the A1 URIs. If host names cannot be resolved, the ip address of the remote host is logged instead. This logging is default off so must be configured to be enabled. If not configured, the counter remote\_hosts will return a fixed text indicating that host name logging is not enabled. Use this feature with caution, remote host lookup may take time in certain environments.
+The simulator can also run using the https protocol. The enable https, a valid certificate and key need to provided. There is self-signed certificate available in the certificate dir and that dir shall be mounted to the container to make it available
