6//! Push notification sender trait and HTTP implementation.
7//!
8//! [`PushSender`] abstracts the delivery of streaming events to client webhook
9//! endpoints. [`HttpPushSender`] uses hyper to POST events over HTTP(S).
10//!
11//! # Security
12//!
13//! [`HttpPushSender`] validates webhook URLs to reject private/loopback
14//! addresses (SSRF protection) and sanitizes authentication credentials
15//! to prevent HTTP header injection.
