Huh-wah? You have it backwards (HTTP over SSL). And there are
plenty of examples of LDAP, POP, SMTP and other protocols over
SSL. FTP is inherently problematic (except if restricted to
passive mode) because of the way connections are made -- SSL, itself
running atop TCP, isn't really suitable for this.
IPSec, SKIP, and other attempts to secure information at the
packet level, are probably much better.
