Yes this is true, but dare I ask why you are using ftp to an HTTP enabled server?
Because I used ftp before apt, it works now, and I use very similar configuration files for many servers, and I don't know if all of them support http. By the way, I miss very much a way to define multiple possible configurations (to different servers) and switch among them easily. Currently, if I have routing problems to one server, or the server has problems on its own, or if it is slow at a given time of the day, I go to /etc/apt and copy one of my config files over to sources.list. I'd like a menu with conf. files and the ability to choose among them. Thanks
