Handlers not Documented?

as a side note - i guess in nearly all cases it is also more
appropriate to
use HttpNotFoundHandler -

at least for security reasons it is better to return a
generic "not found"
as opposed to "found - but are not allowed to access
it - maybe you find
another way"

if you want to be on the safe side - the handlers are very
straightforward
and just return an http error...



public class NotFoundHandler : IHttpHandler
{
  public bool IsReusable
  {
    get { return true; }
  }

  public void ProcessRequest(HttpContext context)
  {
    throw new HttpException(404, context.Request.Path +
" not found");
  }
}





cheers,

I am after whether suggesting that clients use them in
specific situations
is going to cause problems.  I hate to recommend stuff in
the .NET Framework
that isn't documented, though using the
HttpForbiddenHandler seems inoquious
enough I just want to know what they are supposed to expect
from the handler
(and what other handlers I haven't accidently come across
that would be of
use).

Out of curiosity, what is it you're after? The name tells
you what it does.
The doc probably wouldn't tell you how. Is the problem the
low level of
discoverability? (If so, then the less than ideal answer is
Reflector.)
