Popular Use Cases for Message Handlers | C#
In this chapter, we consider examples of how to create custom Message Handlers to implement a custom schema, work with HTML documents from a ZIP archive, authentication, and log an operation time.
A typical implementation does the following:
- To write a custom message handler, derive from Aspose.Net.MessageHandler and override the Invoke() method.
- Add the custom message handler in the pipeline.
Suppose you want to convert an HTML(XHTML) document containing linked resources such as images, styles, scripts. In that case, you should pack all these resources along with your document into a single ZIP archive and convert, for instance, ZIP to PDF or ZIP to JPG. Aspose.HTML for .NET provides functionality for creating custom message handlers for working with HTML documents in ZIP archives.
Sometimes you need to get the total time taken for a Web request to flow through handlers, out to the endpoint, and receive the response. So, another popular use case for message handlers – logging the Web request execution time.
