You're confusing transfer protocols with data types. I can access an html
file withous messagftp://hostname/foo.html">ftp://hostname/foo.html or http://hostname/foo.html, assuming
the host has ftp and http servers running. I can imagine someday having a
vrtp: server which does something difserent (interaction or multi-user,
for instance), but this still has nothing to do with the data type served.
