Http Modules allow you to extend the existing ASP.NET pipeline.  The most common use of HTTPModules is pre and/ore postprecessing of requests.  Internally ASP.NET utilizes custom modules (httpmodules) for: output caching, authentication and authorization etc.  Therefore, if you ever need to tap into the pipleline to alter the request in any way, look into HttpModules as they provide a relatively easy way for you to do just that (similiar to how ISAPI filters helped achieve pre/post processing capabilities).
