Why convert ASHX to HTML?
An .ashx file is an ASP.NET Generic HTTP Handler - server-side C#/VB.NET source code that runs on an IIS server and writes a response to the browser. The only .html output exists after the server processes a request. People save this output to archive a page, read it offline, or share the rendered result without requiring access to the live server.

.ashxendpoint only supplies data, the saved HTML may not display correctly when opened offline.
