PowerShell ASP includes a classic ASP-like template language that makes it easy to build dynamic Web pages using PowerShell. PowerShell ASP runs on the ASP.NET platform, implemented as a custom IHttpHandler mapped to *.ps1x files. Because of this, you can mix PowerShell ASP pages alongside any ASP.NET application. This provides a great way to leverage PowerShell ASP inside your existing applications as needed or you can create complete applications from scratch based only on *.ps1x pages.

Features

• Customize Your PowerShell ASP Pages with HTML
  Dress up your pages by combining HTML and PowerShell script. For example, you might want to delineate the objects returned from get-childitem by putting them in an HTML table.
• Work with User Input
  Use the built-in $request object included in PowerShell ASP to access information about the HTTP context, including query string or form input.
• Build RSS and Atom Feeds
  Just as .ps1x files produce HTML output, .rs1x and .as1x files produce RSS and Atom output.
• Using PowerShell ASP
  PowerShell ASP combines the capabilities of PowerShell and the .NET framework, with the simplicity of classic ASP. PowerShell ASP scripts are just a mixture of PowerShell script and HTML.
• Authoring PowerShell ASP Pages
  PowerShell ASP pages are simple text files with the *.ps1x extension that contain both markup as well as snippets of regular PowerShell code interacting together. Unlike ASP.NET, there’s no “code behind” model for PS1X pages; in this sense they resemble more the ASP classic model.
• Intrinsic Objects
  Besides running standard PowerShell code, you will want to interact with the HTTP runtime through the use of the ASP.NET Intrinsic objects like HttpRequest and HttpResponse. Because of the threading model used by PowerShell, those objects are not accessible directly through HttpContext.Runtime.
