What are HttpHandlers and HttpModules in ASP.NET?

In order to fully comprehend the concept of HttpHandlers and HttpModules, I have written a detailedASP.NET Tutorial. Here I am defining both the concepts as follows:

HttpHandler: ASP.NET Engine uses HttpHandlers to handle specific requests on the basis of it’s extensions. ASP.NET Page Handler handles all requests coming for (.aspx) pages. We can define our own custom HttpHandler to handle a specific request with a specific extension, say .jpeg, .gif, or .ahmad. But there will always be only one handler for a specific request.

HttpModule: ASP.NET Engine uses HttpModules to inject some specific functionality along with ASP.NET default functionality for all incoming requests regardless of its extensions. There are a number of built-in modules already available in ASP.NET HTTP Pipeline. But we can write our own custom HTTP module to perform some additional functionality (for example, URL rewriting or implementing some security mechanism) for all incoming requests
