HTTP is a much more potent and dangerous form of FTP.  The legal penalties for

HTTP can be used in SLIP or PPP form, and some upper class users have been 
known to use Ethernet versions.

There is a movement underway to legalize the use of FTP, HTTP, and all other 
forms of Internet Contraband, but these people are all sleazy wacko addicts 
and nobody cares what they think.

If someone offers you HTTP, even under the prescription brands "Mosaic" or 
"Netscape", follow the example of Arizona Governor Fife Symington and "Just 
Say No."

This has been a public service announcement by the Committee To Save Gopher.  
Hope this helps.
