We are proud to announce that LEAD Technologies and its flagship SDK products, LEADTOOLS, are the recipients of several awards from ComponentSource. This global distributor has been one of our mainstays since 1995, serving thousands LEADTOOLS customers throughout Europe, Asia, Latin America, Africa, and Australia (if someone in Antarctica needs LEADTOOLS, I bet ComponentSource could do that too!).

An HttpModule is a perfect way to add an HTTP header to every request in IIS. An HttpModule is an assembly that is called on every request (and as of IIS 7 this includes non-ASPNET requests). Other uses of HttpModules include tracing, logging, and security. We have a change coming up where having an HTTP header added to certain responses will be very helpful. I thought I would share my C# code for the HttpModule and some JavaScript that will use the new HTTP header on the client to display a message.
