 The sandbox feature of the theme/plugin editor in 4.9 is a step in the
 right direction.  Unfortunately there are many situations where the
 loopback request fails and there is no indication back to the user why
 that happened.  The cURL/WP_Error response is just tossed away and a
 generic message is sent.  Will attach a patch that at least returns the
 error message back to the user.

 Additional improvements could be made, but I don't have the time to
 implement them:
 Have a loopback test run before the file is saved to at least be sure that
 is available (save the result in a transient with a 60 sec ttl)
 If that loopback fails, pop up a notice that the sandboxing feature is
 unavailable but have a checkbox to allow the user to force the edit to
 save.
