True, but on the other hand there is no requirements to use GET either
in order to retreive FTP objects from a HTTP proxy... The use of GET is
simply from the fact that the protocol used is HTTP, and in HTTP the
method for retreiving content is GET, just as PUT is the method for
storing content.
What a user interface supports and looks like is up to the implementator
and is entirely outside RFC specifications. The specifications only tell
the meaning of what goes over the wire or otherwise is exchanged between
users (for example the meaning of URL's, and how they can be encoded to
be transferred safely across different medias like email, news, html or
whatever).
