The OSM server *is* using only HTTP.

Are you aware of Xapi, ROMA, and Trapi? Trapi, especially, stores OSM 
data snippets in a tiled manner in the file system and can thus serve 
data for specific tiles very quickly. See the appropriate Wiki pages. 
Xapi is written in M, ROMA and Trapi are written in Perl.

Bye
