EXPORTS
       deliver(SocketType, Socket, Data) -> Result

	      Types  SocketType = socket_type()
		     Socket = socket()
		     Data = io_list() | binary()
		     Result = socket_closed | void()

	      deliver/3 sends the Binary over the Socket using the specified SocketType . Socket and SocketType  should  be  the  socket  and  the
	      socket_type form the mod record as defined in httpd.hrl

       peername(SocketType,Socket) -> {Port,IPAddress}

	      Types  SocketType = socket_type()
		     Socket = socket()
