advantages and disadvantages of using asp.net custom handlers?

Question

what are the advantages and disadvantages of using asp.net custom handlers such as http handlers and etc? what kind of security issues will I face?

Answer 1

There are no disadvantages as such. The IHttpHandler is a core concept of asp.net. Any Page instance is also an IHttpHandler. You will face no security issues that you are not already facing.

Hope this answers your question.
