I'm guessing that as an httphandler is in the IIS pipeline, thus server
execute would try to pass processing to another page - whoich would enter
the handler, and could try to pass processing to another page, thus creating
a potential infinite loop and deadlocking the pipeline Server.transfer
effectively terminates the current request and passes processing to another
page, thus eliminting the recursive process. It might be by design.
