    Okay, this is off topic, but I haven't found it on the internet (or if I
    did, it wasn't the answer I was looking for, LOL)

    If I put a file on my apache web server and then put a link to that file on
    a web page, then somebody clicks on the link and downloads the file, is it
    over ftp or http? I could have sworn it's over http, but can't find the rfc
    that defines file transfer over http. I've looked at rfc 1945 and 2068, but
    I can't see where they talk about file transfers (though they are LONG
    documents and I might have missed it).

    Anybody know which it is, and have a reference to back it up?

    Thanks!

    Ben
