Currently the windows npipe implementation doesn't honour timeouts. Regardless of which api endpoint you use or pretty much anything else this leads to bugs where the docker api waits until the docker daemon finishes instead of timing out properly.

For example, if there is a dockerfile containing at timeout/

FROM alpine

RUN sleep 1000

and you run

from docker import DockerClient

DockerClient.from_env().images.build(path="timeout/", timeout=3)

python will hang for the full 1000 seconds instead of raising an error after 3.
