+ Which is a more efficient way of writing erlang scripts
+ for your Inets web server than writing them as common CGI scripts.</p>

+ <p>The <c>Module</c> must be found in the code path and export
+ <c>Function</c> with an arity of two. An erlScriptAlias must
+ also be set up in the configuration file for the Web server.</p>
+ <p>If the HTTP request is a post request and a body is sent
+ then content_length will be the length of the posted
+ data. If get is used query_string will be the data after
+ <em>?</em> in the url.</p>
+ <p>ParsedHeader is the HTTP request as a key value tuple
+ list. The keys in parsed header will be the in lower case.</p>
+ <p>SessionID is a identifier
+ the server use when <c>deliver/2</c> is called, do not
+ assume any-thing about the datatype.</p>
+ <p>Use this callback function to dynamically generate dynamic web
+ content. when a part of the page is generated send the
+ data back to the client through <c>deliver/2</c>. Note
+ that the first chunk of data sent to the client must at
+ least contain all HTTP header fields that the response
+ will generate. If the first chunk not contains
+ <em>End of HTTP header</em> that is <c>"\\r\ \\r\ "</c>
+ the server will
+ assume that no HTTP header fields will be generated.</p>

+ <p>This callback format consumes quite much memory since the
