HttpModule or HttpHandler?

[Guzeppi]

if i want to create a redirection service, i.e. requests on a certain url
are redirected to other urls depending on the querystring parameters in the
request, what is best to use in this case httpmodule or httphandler? which
gets executed first in the asp.net pipeline?

Modules get executed before handlers

Typically, you would use a module if you wanted to participate in the page
level events and a handler otherwise. For redirection, you can use a handler
but a module would work equally well. Read more here:
