Question

Hi What are HTTP Handlers in ASP.NET ?

Satyapriya Nayak · Answer

Hi Arun An ASP.NET HTTP handler is the process (frequently referred to as the endpoint) that runs in response to a request made to an ASP.NET Web application. The most common handler is an ASP.NET page handler that processes .aspx files. When users request an .aspx file the request is processed by the page through the page handler. You can create your own HTTP handlers that render custom output to the browser. An HTTP module is an assembly that is called on every request that is made to your application. HTTP modules are called as part of the ASP.NET request pipeline and have access to life-cycle events throughout the request. HTTP modules let you examine incoming and outgoing requests and take action based on the request.
