title: express global middleware not being called
body: <p>As far as I can tell I'm configuring my global middleware function as described in the docs and in every forum post on the subject, but it is not being called.  Does anyone see what I'm doing wrong?  express 3.2.5.  In the log output I see the following:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Express server listening on port 9000
  inside route
  GET / 200 7ms - 2b
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I expect to see "inside middleware", then "inside route".  Instead, I just see "inside route". </p>
  
  <p>The code:</p>
  
  <pre><code>var express = require('express'), http=require('http'), path=require('path');
  
  var app = express();
  
  app.enable('trust proxy');
  
  app.set('port', process.env.PORT || 9000);
  app.set('views', __dirname + '/views');
  app.set('view engine', 'ejs');
  app.set('layout', 'layout');
  
  app.use(require('express-ejs-layouts'));
  app.use(express.favicon(__dirname + '/public/images/favicon.ico')); 
  app.use(express.logger('dev'));
  app.use(express.bodyParser());
  app.use(express.methodOverride())
  app.use(express.cookieParser('kfiwknks'));
  app.use(express.session());
  app.use(app.router);
  app.use(express.static(path.join(__dirname, 'public')));
  
  if ('development' == app.get('env')) {
    app.use(express.errorHandler());
  } else {
    app.use(function(err, req, res, next){
      console.error (error);
      res.send (500, "Internal server error");
    });
  }
  
  app.use (function (req, res, next) {
    console.log ("inside middleware");
    next();
  });
  
  app.get ("/", function (req, res) {
    console.log ("inside route");
    res.send(200);
  });
  
  http.createServer(app).listen(app.get('port'), function() {
    console.log('Express server listening on port ' + app.get('port'));
  });
  </code></pre>
