checkHeader() failing

[brandonscript]

req.checkHeader('Authorization', 'Authorization header cannot be empty).notEmpty();

This will fail with exception:

TypeError: Cannot read property 'Authorization' of undefined

So looks like the original bug still wasn't fixed? Or maybe the npm version is old?

Either way, replacing this with req fixed the problem:

req.checkHeader = checkParam(req, function(header) {
        var toCheck;

        if (header === 'referrer' || header === 'referer') {
          toCheck = req.headers.referer;
        } else {
          toCheck = req.headers[header];
        }
        return toCheck || '';
 });
