- toast0 2mo agoPhp serialized uses s:size:value; For strings, which is pretty similar. Size is in bytes.
- asalahli 2mo agoNot sure if it counts as notable, but SCGI uses it too: https://python.ca/scgi/protocol.txt https://python.ca/scgi/protocol.txt
- Asmod4n 2mo agozurl and mongrel2 are using it.
