ftp.xx.debian.org

Hi: I'm a user from Chile and I have a practical question. In the official mirror of Chile, the administrator recently open a forum, but the browser doesn't allow to type directly 
ftp.cl.debian.org/Foro, instead we have to type http://ftp.cl.debian.org/Foro, which is a little uncomfortable. Why, if debian is distributed by http, ftp and rsync, we mantain the same notation to refeer us to a mirror? Doesn't the correct notation should be 
xx.debian.org?

Kind Regards,
