Documented steps

  1. Start a server in the background: Python `p = sandbox.commands.run('python -m http.server 3000', background=True)`; JS `await sandbox.commands.run('python -m http.server 3000', { background: true })`.
  2. Get the public host for that port: `host = sandbox.get_host(3000)` (Python) / `await sandbox.getHost(3000)` (JS).
  3. Build the URL: `url = f'https://{host}'` e.g. `https://3000-i62mff4ahtrdfdkyn2esc.e2b.app`.
  4. Fetch it with requests/fetch from inside or outside the sandbox.
  5. Stop the server with `p.kill()` when finished.
