Replacement for HttpHandlers in ASP.NET vNext

Question

I read that HttpHandlers is not part of ASP.NET 5 (vNext). Instead, a replacement that works the same way can be used.

I am looking for a solution that can load an image based on an identifier from an object. And if this image does not exist, a [Non Image] image should be displayed instead. This works great with the http handler. But I do not see a good solution in ASP.NET vNext.

Answer 1

Replacement HttpHandlerand HttpModuleis an intermediate software. You can easily write middleware to solve your problem.
However, in your particular case, custom Image TagHelpermay be more useful.
