Summary

The inclusion of HttpModules in ASP.NET provides a valuable tool for dealing with requests in a global manner. The use of HttpModules greatly simplifies the programming and configuration settings necessary for dealing with requests compared to using ISAPI filters. Although HttpModules are not as powerful as ISAPI filters, they can be used for many common tasks that previously could only be implemented with ISAPI filters. After reading this chapter, you should have a good start toward implementing your own HttpModule.
