Node/Express middleware to post-process requests
// set up express
var express = require('express'),
app = express();
// configure express app
app.configure(function(){
// register the 'after response' middleware
app.use(function(request, response, done){
// define our postProcessor
// we do this here as we automatically get to access the
// request and response arguments
function postProcess()
{
// remove the event listeners, ensuring postProcess
// only gets called once
response.removeListener('finish', postProcess);
response.removeListener('close', postProcess);
// always make this as asynchronous as possible
process.nectTick(function(){
// we still have access to the request and response
// variables provided when the our middleware is
// called (we registered registered the function with
// request, response and done arguments).
console.log(
// the user agent
request.headers['user-agent'],
// the requested path
request.path,
// the HTTP status code returned
response.statusCode
);
});
}
// listen for the finish and close events, pass those on to
// the postProcess method
response.on('finish', postProcess);
response.on('close', postProcess);
if (done)
done();
});
});
