At which layer does HTTP operate?

Network Layer
Transport Layer
Session Layer
Application Layer

The correct answer is: Application Layer

HTTP operates at the Application Layer of the OSI (Open Systems Interconnection) model. This layer is responsible for providing network services directly to the end-users. HTTP, which stands for HyperText Transfer Protocol, is specifically designed to facilitate communication between web browsers (clients) and web servers, allowing for the transfer of hypertext documents and resources over the internet. At the Application Layer, protocols like HTTP handle high-level application functions, such as rendering web pages and managing web queries. This layer acts as an interface between the user's application (like a web browser) and the underlying transport and network layers, which manage data transmission and routing. Understanding this context helps clarify why HTTP's role is critical for web communication—it is not concerned with the details of data transmission; instead, it focuses on how applications communicate and share data across the network. The other layers mentioned—Network, Transport, and Session—serve different roles, such as data routing, ensuring reliable data transmission, and managing sessions, respectively, but they do not handle the protocol specifics for web content delivery like HTTP does.
