This PR makes Shiny detect that it's running on Codespaces, where the browser can't just point to
http://127.0.0.1:{autoreload-port}and expect to succeed. Instead, a proxy URL is used. See Forwarding ports in your codespace.Note that this alone is not enough to make autoreload work quite right on codespaces. The Shiny app will try to connect to the autoreload websocket server and fail. This is because Codespace's forwarded ports are private by default, and need you to access each proxy hostname via HTTP document load first so it can set some cookies and whatnot. A forthcoming PR for pyshiny-vscode will try to address this.
Update: Here's the corresponding pyshiny-vscode PR posit-dev/shiny-vscode#27
