Instance Variables / HTTP Handler 1

[dace]

Hi, I have a fairly basic question -

If I have a class acting as a custom http handler that handles http page requests (by implementing (HttpHandler.ProcessRequest), when does it get instantiated, and is it shared across sessions? I'm basically wondering, if I have private class variables in my handler, will each session have a different instance of those variables or will they be shared?

Thanks for the help!

The variables will not be shared. Each request news up an instance of the HttpHandler, and each instance has its own variables.

HttpHandlers are fired as soon as the request comes in, before anything else is done. It's before any Global or Page events.
