Passing Data From HTTPModule to ASP.NET Page Instance

[Michael S. Jones]

I am thinking through a framework for logging, authentication, etc. that
requires the system to look up quite a bit of information from a database.
Is there an easy way to pass information that is retrieved in an HTTP Module
to the executing page instance in ASP.NET? For example, I would like to
create an object that would store various pieces of information in the HTTP
Module and make it available to the executing instance of the page in
ASP.NET. I would prefer not to use .NET caching or session variables (for
various reasons). Is there a way to add values to the
Request.ServerVariables collection? Is there an elegant way to do this?

Thanks.

Hello Michael,

You could always add the items to HttpContext.Current.Items. The items in
this collection will follow the request around.
