<add> Adds an HttpModule class to an application.

<remove> Removes an HttpModule class from an application.
<clear> Removes all HttpModule mappings from an application.

Example

The following example adds three HttpModule references to the ASP.NET application.

<configuration>
   <system.web>
      <httpModules>
         <add type="System.Web.Caching.OutputCacheModule" 
              name="OutputCache"/>
         <add type="System.Web.SessionState.SessionStateModule" 
              name="Session"/>
         <add type=Selector, selector.dll"
