How can you reuse a Readable stream in node.js?

Question

If I have an http server, and I want to write the same output to every request, it seems silly to recreate a new stream on every request. But, I'm noticing that if I pipe a file-stream somewhere for example, trying to pipe it again doesn't do anything.

How can I reuse a stream?

You can pipe it into a Transform stream do something with it and push the input to the transform back into the stream towards another transform.

Would you have an example of that perhaps? – Mbrevda Dec 18 '15 at 12:49

An example would improve helpfulness of this answer drastically. – k0pernikus Aug 10 '17 at 16:31
