Knowing nothing about this, I would guess that this is to allow sending binary data that contains embedded null bytes?

Though I guess it would be good to have nicer wrappers for the common case where you do only send text.

Probably they use length-prefixed strings internally (which is probably a requirement for taking a C web framework seriously), but allow C nul-terminated strings at the API boundary for convenience of use.
