    // send stuff back to the user, EXAMPLE IS NOT REAL HEADERS :>
    socketReq.write('Api-key: klsfj;laksfjlaskjf;');

    socketReq.write(''); // remember that the body and headers need a space between
    socket.Req.write('THIS IS TEXT IS THE BODY');
    socketReq.end(); // invoke the end event on the socket to tell the client you are done.
