There is a demo for Custom Content Handler. Yes, like each call to a session, the content handler call starts with its own thread.
In fact, it's easy to think of it as the first (and only) call to a new session. Like a "one call session". I don't know if Alex/Chad like that mental model but it helps me understand what I can and can't do. If you check the session list during the handler call you'll see your content handler listed. Not to worry, it's not a heavyweight (no forms or anything) but it's there. It disappears when the call is over (unlike a real session that hangs around a while before it's deleted).
Play with it. Very handy. I even have one set up that gives me a status on active sessions, and statistics on cumulative sessions and such.
