can asp.net core use HttpModule?

Question

If I create HttpModule in c++(IIS Module)

can asp.net core use it? if I do not use IIS.

I use kestrel to run asp.net core.

I can not use it right?

Is there any other Module I can use it? I can use c++ to write dll and asp.net core use it?

Answer 1

asp.net core uses middleware rather than modules.

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/aspnet/core/fundamentals/middleware/?view=aspnetcore-8.0

you can easily write custom middleware that call c++. on windows only, you might be able to write the middleware in managed c++, but I'm not sure.

note: middleware does not implement the httpmodule application events.
