Create another class to be the default one and let it grow up to your link's bandwidth borrowing from HTTP traffic when there is not 400 Mbps of them. Then create a couple of filters to send traffic to the correct classes and, maybe, attach a "sfq" qdisc to your HTTP and default leaves to guarantee fairness for individual connections.
