Hi,

I'm having some trouble the debugger says that "req" has no method "isAuthenticated". I'm checking if the user is authenticated in the before hook to not go all the way up to the app's router. What do you think that the problem might be.

app.use(flatiron.plugins.http, {
  before : [
    function(req, res) {
      req.originalUrl = req.url;
      res.emit('next');
    },
    connect.cookieParser(),
    connect.session({ secret : 'keyboard cat' }),
    passport.initialize(),
    passport.session(),
    function(req, res) {

      if (!/^\/dashboard$|dashboard\/.*$/.test(req.url)) {
        return res.emit('next');
      }

      if (req.isAuthenticated()) {
        return res.emit('next');
      }

      res.redirect('/');
    },
    ecstatic(path.join(__dirname, './public'), {
      autoIndex : false,
      cache : "0, no-cache, no-store, must-revalidate"
    }) //cache control was turned off
  ]
});
