ASP.NET HTTP Handler

The ASHX file is an ASP.NET HTTP Handler. An ASP.NET HTTP handler is the process (frequently referred to as the "endpoint") that runs in response to a request made to an ASP.NET Web application. ASP.NET was first released in January 2002 with version 1.0 of the .NET Framework, and is the successor to Microsoft's Active Server Pages (ASP) technology. (ASP is the server-side execution environment in Microsoft Internet Information Server that enables you to run scripts on the server.)
