Global.asax is a HttpHandler or HttpModule?

I was asked in a interview about Global.asax and its functionality,and then asked me what is regarded between the HttpHandler and HttpModule? i answered HttpModule, based on my understanding that HttpModule is in request pipeline and HttpHandler is responsible for generating response.

But when i looked at Global.asax base classes i saw that its inherited from IHttpHandler .

Why Global.asax should be regarded a handler while it is not Handling requests?

Global.asax implements IHttpHandler (among other interfaces) but also derives from the base class HttpApplication, and yes it does handle requests as you can see from decompiling HttpApplication.
