Over riding Status Handlers

Detour handles some http status code responses itself, by simply returning the status code with an empty body. You can over-ride this behaviour in instances of it simply by monkey-patching:

var detour = require('detour').detour;
var router = new detour('/api', {});

router.handle404 = function(req, res){
  res.send(404, "this is a custom 404 error")
}

Codes that are supported (and can be overridden) are:

• 414 (URI too long): method name: handle414()
• 404 (URI not found): method name: handle404()
• 405 (method not supported for resource): method name: handle405()
• 501 (method not implemented by server): method name: handle501()
