Pretty sure it's FTP and not HTTP. This is from the Mystic wiki for 1.12a39 four years ago. I didn't see any other mention of it on the wiki:

+ Mystic now has a new feature which can be enabled in the File Base Settings
   called "Download FTP".  When this is enabled to Yes, Mystic will ask the
   user if they'd like to download their queued files via an FTP link instead
   of using a file transfer protocol.

   The FTP link will contain a virtual directory that contains all of the
   files in their batch queue, and will expire after 1 hour.  The user can
   use their web browser or FTP client to connect to the FTP URL and list
   and download the files that they queued on the BBS.  Access enforcement
   and statistical tracking will be applied via the virtual FTP directory
   just as it would if the user was downloading the file from the BBS.

   This feature requires that Mystic's FTP server is enabled and properly
   configured, and that Anonymous FTP access is enabled in the Server
   settings.  This means proper firewall configuration and valid BBS domain

   Four new prompts will go along with this.  If you are using the default
   prompts you can simply copy over the default.txt to your data directory,
   but if you have modified the prompts then you'll need to add these new
   prompts into your default.txt and any other themes you use.  They are
   located in the upgrade.txt or the default.txt from a fresh installation.

   An HTTP equivalent will be enabled in a future build.
