Description

## What is your suggestion?
Implement a client-side interceptor or dynamic proxy mechanism within `code-server`'s browser context that can catch outbound WebSocket requests to `localhost:` and seamlessly route them through `code-server`'s built-in proxy layer back to the remote workspace.

## Why do you want this feature?
Developers relying on `code-server` for a pure browser-based development experience cannot use .NET's Hot Reload (`dotnet watch`).

When running `dotnet watch`, the .NET SDK dynamically injects a script (`aspnetcore-browser-refresh.js`) into the DOM that attempts to establish an HMR WebSocket connection to a random, ephemeral port on `localhost` (e.g., `ws://localhost:40777`).

Because the browser executes this locally, it queries the user's physical machine rather than the remote `code-server` container. The connection drops, and Hot Reload fails:
`Firefox can’t establish a connection to the server at ws://localhost:40777/`

```
Firefox can’t establish a connection to the server at ws://localhost:43067/. aspnetcore-browser-refresh.js:318:25
WebSocket failed to connect. aspnetcore-browser-refresh.js:19:15
Firefox can’t establish a connection to the server at wss://localhost:33935/. aspnetcore-browser-refresh.js:318:25
WebSocket failed to connect. aspnetcore-browser-refresh.js:19:15
Unable to establish a connection to the browser refresh server. aspnetcore-browser-refresh.js:23:13
```

## Are there any workarounds to get this functionality today?
There are no workarounds for a **pure browser** workflow (e.g., coding on an iPad or a locked-down laptop without CLI access).

## Are you interested in submitting a PR for this?
No, I do not have the familiarity with the `code-server` networking/proxy codebase to implement this reliably.
