Description
I’m trying to run a simple http server and browse files/pages from Safari.
Installing nodejs works:
```
Mark-Smiths-iPod:~# apk add nodejs
fetch http://apk.ish.app/v3.14-2023-05-19/main/x86/APKINDEX.tar.gz
fetch http://apk.ish.app/v3.14-2023-05-19/community/x86/APKINDEX.tar.gz

Mark-Smiths-iPod:~# node -v
v14.21.3
```
Installing npm appears to work:
```
apk add npm
(1/1) Installing npm (7.17.0-r0)
Executing busybox-1.33.1-r6.trigger
OK: 61 MiB in 22 packages
Mark-Smiths-iPod:~# which npm
/usr/bin/npm
Mark-Smiths-iPod:~# npm --version
7.17.0
```
But npm always just hangs:
```
Mark-Smiths-iPod:~# npm install -g http-server
^C
```
Has anyone gotten nodejs and npm running? Is it even possible?

Research direction
Reproduce the reported setup with `apk add nodejs`, `apk add npm`, and `npm install -g http-server`, then investigate why npm hangs in iSH. No source file or test is named, so first identify the relevant package or networking entry point. Done means explaining the failure and establishing a verified supported path or documenting that it is unsupported.
