It already is on an HTTP host: in fact, ftp.vim.org responds to both
HTTP queries on the HTTP port and to FTP queries on the FTP port.
Simply replace ftp:// by http:// at the start of the URL you gave (and
of any other ones for the same host), leaving ftp.vim.org etc.
unchanged after the double slash, and you'll get Vim over HTTP.

Best regards,
Tony.
