Name	Description
Path	A read-only string value that contains the path of a single URL or a wildcard string. A key property.
Type	A read/write string value that specifies a managed type for an HTTP handler. ASP.NET searches for the handler assembly DLL in the application's private \Bin directory first and then in the system assembly cache. Note: The type reference is formed as follows (items in brackets are not required): Namespace.Typename, Assemblyname[,] [Version=x,] [Culture=y,] [PublicKeyToken=z] (for example, "ExampleNamespace.ExampleType, Example.Assembly, Version=%ASSEMBLY_VERSION%, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=%MICROSOFT_PUBLICKEY%").
Validate	A read/write boolean value. true if ASP.NET waits to load the handler class until a matching request arrives; otherwise false. The default is true.
Verb	A read-only string value that specifies a comma-delimited list of HTTP verbs (for example, "GET, PUT, POST"). A wildcard ("*") represents all verbs. A key property.
