It has been largely replaced with RESTful APIs, but it still exists. The two places I&rsquo;m personally aware of are rtorrent, and Wordpress. The former I lived with, mainly because nothing was exposed to the internet; the latter I wasn&rsquo;t aware of until today. I thought I had been the victim of a DoS attack using it as a vector but (SPOILER) I don&rsquo;t believe that to be the case.</p>
