.armx?

Resurrection20 · Sep 13, 2003

I've noticed on various msn.com webpages the .armx
extension. Perusing various search engines has turned up
nothing except for a single webboard thread which talked
about msn.jp and someone's theory that it is a
personal .NET extenstion system for MSN.com because you
can easilly create your own extensions. Is this true?
And if not? Just what is this? Some sort of new
technology? I doubt they'd want to replace asp.net so
soon, right?
Sincerely,

You probabely found the correct information. ASP.NET
allows custom HTTP Handlers. You specify which path or
extentions they should process on incoming requests. More
information and sample can be found on
