And there is http://www.root-servers.org/ suggesting
"
The root hints file (named.cache, root.ca, root.hints, ...) can be
obtained via IANA's page for popular links (http://www.iana.org/popular.htm)
"
which in turn points to [www|ftp].internic.net

Shame its not made it to HTTP yet:
Nothing to do with the protocol but with the organization which
manages the server:
$ lynx --source http://www.internic.net/zones/named.root | grep AAAA
www.internic.net is managed by ICANN.
$ lynx --source ftp://rs.internic.net/domain/named.root | grep "last update"
rs.internic.net is managed by Verisign.
