All of them, potentially. Anomalies aside (thanks, DAV :), HTTP
methods are uniform so apply to all resources independent of the
scheme used by any particular identifying URI.

"ftp" is the only one I've seen used in practice though, as others
have pointed out.

$ nc ftp.debian.org 80
GET ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/README HTTP/1.0

Mark.
