The first line uses the "vocalisation of the abbreviation" rule whereas the
second uses the "vocalisation of the first word" rule when selecting
a vs an. The first is more common in general, and in this file seems to
be used in preference to the other by a two to one margin. While this ought
to be made more consistent, I would argue that it be done the other way,
that is change "a SCP", "a FTP" and "a HTTP" to use "an" instead.
