ENTROPY_ENDPOINT=ws://localhost:9944 broken

[mixmix]

Gets Error:

API-WS: disconnected from ws://localhost:9944: 1006:: Abnormal Closure

This is when a local docker setup is running?
ws://127.0.0.1:9944 works

Idea: could add some checks to argParser and throw an error, or replace localhost => 127.0.0.1 ?

Need to check

• why this isn't working
• can we reproduce

[mixmix]

Steps to try reproduce (linux)

$ rm -rf ~/.config/entropy-cryptography/entropy-cli.json
$ yarn test:network:up
$ yarn build:global

$ entropy account create mixmix

$ entropy account balance mixmix
{"balance":0,"symbol":"BITS"}

$ entropy balance mixmix -e ws://junk.io:9944

$ entropy balance mixmix -e ws://localhost:9944

$ entropy balance mixmix -e ws://127.0.0.1:9944

$ ENTROPY_ENDPOINT=ws://localhost:9944 entropy balance mixmix

$ ENTROPY_ENDPOINT=ws://127.0.0.1:9944 entropy balance mixmix

I think from this I conclude that .... we cannot currently reproduce the bug

entropy-cli version v0.1.1 ... well a few commits beyond dev branch at commit 6d36cb3

@ameba23 I'm gonna put this REVIEW, and unless you or anyone else has feedback, we'll move this to DONE next week

Frankie points out that if there's no endpoint running you might get this error, and you should get a more helpful error.
