No, there's no such table. The basics are like this:

Most protocols support HTTP proxy, but note that non-HTTP over such a proxy
will also speak HTTP unless you "tunnel through" it.

Then there's socks4 and socks5 proxies and those are generally not very well
supported for anything, but I believe they work at least for plain simple HTTP
and probably for FTP too.
