This question keeps coming back to the ASP.NET forums, people wanting to write an Http Handler to re write the url. This is a common use in blogs and forums, when people wants to redirect from URL /blog/1093/post.aspx to /blog/post.aspx?id=1093 however keep the previous displayed for better url usage.

• Create a class on the project and inherit from IHttpHandler

public class MyHandler : IHttpHandler

• Right click the IHttpHander and select "Implement Interface" to create the method ProcessRequest and the property IsReusable.

#region IHttpHandler Members

public bool IsReusable
{
     get { return true; }
}

public void ProcessRequest(HttpContext context)
{
}

#endregion

The property will tell if can be reuse or create a complete new instance per request. By default is false to create a new instance per request.

PrecessRequest is where the guts are.

Server.Transfer("post.aspx?id=" + context.Request.Url.Segments[2]);

The last step is to register the HttpHandler on the web.config

<httpHandlers>
            <add verb="GET" path="post.aspx" type="yourNamespace.app_code.myhandler"/>

</httpHandlers>

Now all requests to post.aspx page will be handled by the httphadler, you'll still need to create a page that receives the parameters id or any other you need or a class instead of a page to handler your request. Remember to pass the http context.

Hopefully now I can answer with this post the Http Handler 101 question.

Cheers
