How to keep alive an HttpModule (a.k.a register it as a singleton)

Question

I pretty sure I've seen this somewhere but I can't seem to find it anywhere. I have an HttpModule that can be used across multiple requests. In other words instead of creating a new instance of the Module on every request it only ever needs to create it once. Does this ring a bell to anyone? If so, what's the method for configuring to work this way?

UPDATE I'm was actually thinking about IHttpHandler which has a property called IsReusable. HttpModules are only ever created once per application: http://www.devx.com/vb2themax/Article/19901/0/page/2

Answer 1

I guess you could move the functionality to a static class, and call that class from your HttpModule. That way the HttpModule itself will not be kept alive, but the functionality and state that you wish to share will be.
