How do you use Connect.js methods if you're running Express.js?

Question

I'm using Node with Express. Express has Connect kinda buried within it. How do you call Connect's various methods though? When I require Express then doing express.middleware.someconnectmiddleware fails...

`express.connectMiddleware` should be the same as `connect.connectMiddleware` — juandopazo, Jan 10 '13 at 19:43

They're all available on express under the same name.

express.bodyParser == connect.bodyParser

Then why does app.use(express.utils); fail? Why does express.utils.parseSignedCookie(cookie, 'secret'); fail? I get "TypeError: Cannot call method 'parseSignedCookie' of undefined" – CommaToast Jan 12 '13 at 05:08

utils isn't public so it's not exported. http://www.senchalabs.org/connect/. you can ask TJ about that, I would actually like that as well. – Jonathan Ong Jan 12 '13 at 09:15
