You can use any kind of transport to exchange information between peers that you can think of. You'd have to build 'bridges' to go from one kind of transport to another.
In case of HTTP you could expose the block and transaction data through a REST interface (see for example #2844).
Closing this as it's not really an issue for Bitcoin Core. The place for more extensive discussion of alternative transports would probably be the mailing list.

Resumeable block downloads could certainly be nice to help reduce network bandwidth. Does the HTTP interface provide this?

@rebroad doesn't seem to be the case https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/2844/files#diff-f45ef7a0b5abac83d90cebd2145f9fbfR64 but I guess it's not to hard to add.
