What happens if more than one HttpHandler is registered for a file type?

[Peter Rilling]

Okay, I need to create an HttpHandler that will process all requests to the
server so that I can perform special logging. What happens if there are
more than one handler registered with the same file extension? For
instance, someone accesses a .aspx page. Normally that would only be
handled by normal handler. What I want to do is register a handler for this
extension, but also allow the normal handler to process it after I am done.
I won't be writing anything to the response stream, I just want code to run
on each request. Will this cause problem?

Why don't you just create an inherited Page class that does your task with
each Request, and then inherit that for all of your Pages?

This sounds like you want an HttpModule, not an HttpHandler.

Because my team does not control the pages or any of the site content for
that matter. Also, I need to perform special logging for static content as
well (e.g. gif, jpg, css, etc.)

Two additional points.
1) I need to be able to trap requests for all file types, including ASP,
GIF, CSS, etc.
2) I need to be able to access the user's authenticated identity for that
page request.
