// IsReservedIP reports whether the given IP falls inside a range that
// outbound HTTP egress (and the network-scanner CIDR expander) MUST treat
// as unreachable: loopback, link-local (including cloud-provider metadata
// endpoints at 169.254.169.254), multicast, and broadcast.
//
// RFC 1918 ranges (10/8, 172.16/12, 192.168/16) are intentionally NOT
// treated as reserved. certctl is designed to manage certificates inside
// private networks and filtering private address space would break the
// primary use case. The threat model here is outbound HTTP to
// cloud-metadata or localhost services, not general network reachability.
//
// This function is byte-identical in behaviour to the previous unexported
// copy in internal/service/network_scan.go. It is exported here so both
// the network scanner and the webhook notifier share a single
// authoritative implementation. Broader IPv6 coverage and unspecified-
// address handling live in SafeHTTPDialContext, where stricter policy is
// appropriate for outbound HTTP egress.

// ValidateSafeURL parses rawURL and rejects anything that would let an

// (CWE-918). Guards enforced:
//
//  1. The scheme must be http or https. Schemes like file://, gopher://,
//     ftp://, data:, javascript:, ldap://, and dict:// are rejected outright;
//     webhook delivery only speaks HTTP(S).
//  2. A hostname must be present. Empty-host URLs like "http:///foo" are
//     rejected to prevent ambiguous defaulting.
//  3. If the host is a literal IP address, the IP must not be reserved
//     (see isReservedIPForDial). This stops the obvious 127.0.0.1 / ::1 /
//     169.254.169.254 / 0.0.0.0 attacks at config time.
//  4. If the host is a DNS name and resolution succeeds, every resolved
//     A/AAAA record must be non-reserved. A single reserved result is
//     enough to reject. Resolution failure is tolerated (offline CI
//     environments, short-lived test servers) — the authoritative
//     enforcement runs at dial time anyway.
//
// The DNS resolution check here is a best-effort early diagnostic. The
// authoritative, TOCTOU-safe enforcement is SafeHTTPDialContext, which
// re-checks after resolution at dial time and defeats DNS rebinding.
// Callers that need SSRF-safe HTTP egress should use BOTH
// ValidateSafeURL (at config ingestion) AND SafeHTTPDialContext
// (installed on http.Transport).
