You can write custom HTTP handlers to process specific, predefined types of HTTP requests in any language that is compliant with the Common Language Specification (CLS). Executable code that is defined in the HTTP handler classes, rather than in conventional ASP or ASP.NET Web pages, responds to these specific requests. HTTP handlers give you a means of interacting with the low-level request and response services of a Web server running the Internet Information Services (IIS) and provide functionality much like ISAPI extensions but with a simpler programming model.
ASP.NET does not verify that the current user is authorized to view the resource that is delivered by the Execute method. Although the ASP.NET authorization and authentication logic runs before the original resource handler is called, ASP.NET directly calls the handler that is indicated by the Execute method and does not rerun authentication and authorization logic for the new resource. If the security policy for your application requires clients to have proper authorization to gain access to the resource, the application should force reauthorization or provide a custom access-control mechanism.
You can force reauthorization by using the Redirect method instead of the Execute method. The Redirect performs a client-side redirect in which the browser requests the new resource. Because this redirect is a new request entering the system, it is subjected to all the authentication and authorization logic of both the IIS and ASP.NET security policy.
You can verify that the user has permission to view the resource by incorporating a custom authorization method that uses the IsInRole method before the application calls the Execute method.
