OSI/HTTP
Hi, I'm not trying to war with you, but you are mistaken -- RFC 7230, and RFC 2616 *clearly* state it is an application layer, both right at the start of the document, please stop ignoring this - "The Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) is a stateless application-level protocol" Your interpretation of what is session/application is incorrect. Even the OSI model says application layer is for transferring files. HTML is just a file format, and has nothing to do with network communication. Strangerpete (talk) 15:38, 4 August 2021 (UTC)

Hi, please don't reply on user pages, and use the talk pages instead. Your quote from 7230 shows where you are wrong - "stateless request/response protocol that operates by exchanging messages (Section 3) across a reliable transport- or session-layer "connection"" -- HTTP does not provide this session, as indicated from the word 'across'. At the end of the day, your opinions on what constistutes a session or application are moot without citations; the RFC states what it is, and the internet has agreed for decades. All I'm asking is that you back your claims up with something more solid than personal claims. Strangerpete (talk) 16:15, 4 August 2021 (UTC)
