URL rewrite on ExpressJS 4.0

expressjs-rewrite.js

....

//This is how you'd do on ExpressJS 3.0
app.get('/my/route1/', function (req, res, next) {
  req.url = '/other/route2/';
  next('route');
});

app.get('/other/route2/', function (req, res, next) {
  res.send('I am other route 2');
});

//With the introduction of Routers on ExpressJS 4.0, we need to start from the beginning of the middleware stack again
var routerMy = new express.Router();
app.use('/my/', routerMy);
routerMy.get('/route1/', function (req, res, next) {
	res.url = '/other/route2/';
	app.handle(req, res, next);	// <--- here
});

var routerOther = new express.Router();
app.use('/other/', routerOther);
routerOther.get('/other/route2/', function (req, res, next) {
  res.send('I am other route 2');
});

....

But with this approach in ExpressJS4.0+, the request passes through all the previous middlewares too. But for my requirement, I just need to pass it to the next matching middleware/handler. How to do that ?

Thanks a lot!! it works for me

Shouldn't line 17 be this? (you have reset res.url not req.url)

req.url = '/other/route2/';

Good point, now I gotta test it out to confirm.
