Have it cut off if it receives an invalid HTTP response.

Or you roll out some EC2 instances and open 1000000 sockets. (And before
you say rate-limit based on IP address, the same can be done for the HTTP
idea.)
In any case, I don't see the need to have every form of push api imaginable
implemented. Especially not initially but even in
general.
Agreed, but this is a pretty basic one. In fact, if you use HTTP keep
alive, it's almost identical to the TCP push method anyway, just that you
can use a web server rather than rolling your own socket client.
