Exactly!
First of all, these are not CentOS specific questions... but it's an unmodarated list,
so let's get over that.
Second, unless you have created your own protocol called "httpd" there is NO
protocol (that I know of) called that way. Just because http:// didn't give the
desired result it's not a reason to start appending all the letters of the alphabet
to it...
You know, there is a manual for Apache... in quite a lot of languages too:
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/core.html#options
"FollowSymLinks
The server will follow symbolic links in this directory."
The server must be configured to allow symlinks to be followed.
That's all the mistery.
