Description
What would you like added?
Allow subscribing to events via wss://webhook-forwarder.github.com
Why is this needed?
This will allows users to connect to a websockent endpoint to receive events which means that the firewall only needs to allow outbound connections and thus doesn't expose your infrastructure tothe internet, making it significantly more secure.
Additional context
As implemented in the GitHub CLI: https://github.com/cli/gh-webhook
