QuestionQuestions about the HTTP protocol Pin

Hey folks... I'd love your help on the HTTP protocol, as I'm trying to integrate it with a client application I'm developing:

Quick description of what I propose to do with the protocol:
* Have a unique URI (mydomain.com/uniqueID) and then go via my C++ MFC client and hit that URI.
* Perform server side code to determine whether there are new files to download
* Files are all web content files with the exception of .txt files (so JPEGs, HTML, CSS, etc....)
* If there are new files to download, I want the client to download *all of it at once*..., effectively downloading all the files from server using the HTTP protocol.
* If there are not new files to download, I'd like for the client to download nothing.
* I would also like to upload .txt files to the server ever hour, read their contents, and insert/update them into my database schema.
* I'd like to use Ruby On Rails if this makes a difference.

Here are my questions:
1) Can the HTTP protocol download multiple files (say 10 HTML files, 20 JPEGs, 10 CSS files) from one URI at once?
1.5) Can HTTP protocol be used to download .txt files?
1.6) Is there anything that the HTTP protocol cannot be used to download?
2) Will my proposed solution of domain.com/uniqueID work?
3) Can HTTP actually be used to upload the text file to the server?
4) Is there a nice way of re-assembling the packets on the Windows side into HTML, JPEG files, etc...? Such as an existing module or source/tutorials you might know of.
5) May I use port 80 on the Windows client side, since the type of traffic I'm transferring is web content.
6) Is there some way Windows checks to make sure only web content files are being transferred over port 80?
7) Is there a good intro/primer for sockets programming on the Windows side?

Thank you so much in advance!
