Summary
It should be obvious at this point that HTTP Handlers can be used to accomplish a variety of different tasks. In this chapter alone, you have seen them used to ensure files download with the appropriate names, generate reports, create thumbnail images, and even implement a content-management system.
Keep HTTP Handlers in the back of your mind when you’re analyzing business issues because they can be very powerful solutions in certain situations. You may also want to look into HTTP Modules and Handler Factories if you want a more in-depth understanding of the HTTP Pipeline and how you can use it to your advantage.
