passReqToCallback seems to use a cached version of request...

hi there. thanks for this awesome library.

i'm having some trouble getting something to work. i'm using a token strategy not sessions and i'm trying to have one handler for both authentication and authorization (just like at the end of the Authorize example in the docs http://passportjs.org/guide/authorize/)

i have some middleware that is called before the call to passport authenticate like so:

'use strict';

var express = require('express');
var passport = require('passport');
var auth = require('../auth.service');

var router = express.Router();

router
  .get('/', auth.bindUserToReq(), auth.testU2Q(), passport.authenticate('facebook', {
    scope: ['email', 'user_about_me', 'read_stream', 'publish_actions', 'user_likes'],
    failureRedirect: '/signup',
    session: false
  }))

  .get('/callback', passport.authenticate('facebook', {
    failureRedirect: '/signup',
    session: false
  }), auth.setTokenCookie);

module.exports = router;

the purpose of that middleware is to add user to the req object, so that i can check for it in passport just like the example suggests. in my passport file i have the following at the beginning:

var passport = require('passport');
var FacebookStrategy = require('passport-facebook').Strategy;

exports.setup = function (User, config) {

  passport.use(new FacebookStrategy(config.facebook,
    function(req, accessToken, refreshToken, profile, done) {
        console.log(req.user);
        process.nextTick(function() {
        if (!req.user) {
          User.findOne({'strategies.facebook.id': profile.id}, function(err,user){

my config has the proper passReqToCallback setting (true) to make this supposedly happen correctly. however, any modifications i make to the request object before calling passport in the route get completely ignored.

please let me know if i'm doing something totally stupid or if this is a bug. thanks!

UPDATE:
for anyone having this issue and possibly, like me, using the yeoman fullstack generator, i was (stupidly) putting the middleware call in the wrong route. here is the working solution:

'use strict';

var express = require('express');
var passport = require('passport');
var auth = require('../auth.service');

var router = express.Router();

router
  .get('/', passport.authenticate('facebook', {
    scope: ['email', 'user_about_me', 'read_stream', 'publish_actions', 'user_likes'],
    failureRedirect: '/signup',
    session: false
  }))

  .get('/callback',  auth.bindUserToReq(), auth.testU2Q(), passport.authenticate('facebook', {
    failureRedirect: '/signup',
    session: false
  }), auth.setTokenCookie);

module.exports = router;
