Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe
Ports below 1024 are reserved for Gitpod, so common ports like port 80 and 443 cannot be used.
That creates friction in developer experience, when comparing to local development that doesn't have that limitation.
Describe the behaviour you'd like
What if the current workspace URL would be reserved for IDE
https://shaal-myproject-abcdefgh123.ws-us40.gitpod.io/
Or the keyword
ide
can be added to that URL.https://shaal-myproject-abcdefgh123-ide.ws-us40.gitpod.io/
And there will be a new URL with
web
keyword in it -https://shaal-myproject-abcdefgh123-web.ws-us40.gitpod.io/
Ports URL would work as they work in local.
For example, port 8080, instead of -
https://8080-shaal-myproject-abcdefgh123.ws-us40.gitpod.io/
it would become
https://shaal-myproject-abcdefgh123-web.ws-us40.gitpod.io:8080/
And we can finally use port 443
https://shaal-myproject-abcdefgh123-web.ws-us40.gitpod.io:443/
which is the same as
https://shaal-myproject-abcdefgh123-web.ws-us40.gitpod.io/
