Express + Request Changing headers mid-stream


It seems request has been updated since the accepted answer was submitted, making this process much easier. You can now do the following:

var resource = request('http://example.com');resource.on('response', function(response) {    response.headers['Cache-Control'] = 'max-age=60, public';});resource.pipe(res);

Much nicer!


Thanks to Peter Lyons, I was able to get this working using this code:

function(req, res){  request("http://example.com").pipe(res);  res.oldWriteHead = res.writeHead;  res.writeHead = function(statusCode, reasonPhrase, headers){    res.header('Cache-Control', 'max-age=60, public');    res.oldWriteHead(statusCode, reasonPhrase, headers);  }}
