title: Can REST be implemented over FTP?
body: <p>My colleague and I disagree over the statement that REST can be implemented over FTP. I believe since REST is just an architectural design, it can be implemented over any protocol with a suitable interface, e.g, FTP. However, he disagrees and believes that currently except HTTP REST can't be implemented on any protocol.I showed him a few comments and links but he isn't accepting them. Who is correct?</p>
