We are sending huge files using the hyper TEXT(!) protocol (which is really a hack if you look at it objectively), for which the *FILE* transfer protocol (FTP) had originally been created.

Um? So? Naming aside, what's the problem? HTTP really has nothing to do with hypertext - it's just a simple protocol for accessing files, much like FTP. In what way is it a hack?
