One of my friends worked on My Little Pony: Fighting is Magic, based on this engine. I seem to remember I had a go at reverse engineering the file format so we could script builds, rather than going through the UI? My memory might be wrong

I've implemented a few things from RFCs and I always wish that for each RFC there was a library of test cases to test your implementation. Does anyone know if there is anything like this for HTTP or associated RFCs? Eg, for HTTP header

Some HTTP headers support extended parameters, parameters with a " " after them which allow character encoding of the header value, e.g. in UTF-8. Confusingly, they also support sending both regular and extended parameters in the
