Choosing an HttpHandler from a Custom HttpModule

Question

I have an HttpModule and I would like to select an HttpHandler for the current request, is this possible? In addition, web.config not an option, since the condition is not based on a path or extension. My error handling skills did not fail me, no matter what keywords I use, all the results are: "IHttpHandler vs IHttpModule".

Answer 1

After spending a couple more hours, I finally found a solution:

HttpContext.RemapHandler

This allows me to conditionally reassign the request to another handler in my Url rewrite module.

Answer 2

It seems to me that you are looking for an IHttpHandlerFactory . This can be registered in your web.config (I'm not sure if it is possible to register it using IHttpModule . See Walkthrough: Creating and Registering HTTP Server Loaders

Recently I came across an interesting post in which IHttpModule dynamically registered . I know that this is the opposite of what you are looking for, but it may seem interesting to you.

Answer 3

You can create an HttpModule that will be launched for each request from the client (browser).

See here how he used cookies to send timezoneOFfset using an HttpModule.

Download the code and see how it works.

Definitely you need some configuration changes.
