Description

I noticed this problem on the website:
if using socket.io, the url becomes: https://xyxyxy-4000.csb.app (or 3000).
it seems there is no way to get a clean https://xyxyxy.csb.app pointing to local port 4000 (or 3000)

Research direction

No file, test, or entry point is named. Start by reproducing the Socket.IO behavior in a CodeSandbox app using port 3000 or 4000, then trace how the website maps that port to the generated URL. Done means the app can use a clean https://xyxyxy.csb.app URL without exposing the port number.
