What is the advantage of intercepting a request for an ASP.Net application at the HttpContext level rather than waiting for the request to be processed by the HttpApplication pipeline?
You’re comparing apples to oranges. The HTTPContext holds the HTTP-specific information about an individual HTTP request while an HTTPApplication contains events that process that request.
Perhaps you are referring to HTTPHandlers and HTTPModules? In other words you would intercept a request using an HTTPHandler referencing the HTTPContext to get information about that request like the query string etc…
