What is an HttpHandler in ASP.NET? Why and how is it used?

Using Task or async/await in IHttpAsyncHandler
Since the very begining of writing ASP.NET applications when I wanted to add a threading there are 3 simple ways I can accomplish threading within my ASP.NET application :
Using an IHttpAsyncHandler to call a WebService Asynchronously
Here’s the basic setup. We have an ASP.Net WebForms application with a page that has a Flash application that needs to access an external Web Service. Due to (security I presume) limitations in Flash (don’t ask me, I’m not a Flash expert at all), we can’t connect to the Web Service directly from Flash. The work around is to create a proxy in ASP.Net that the Flash application will call, which will in turn call the WebService and forward the results back to the Flash application.
