Node.js - Session doesn't persist through res.redirect()

Question

I\'m (almost) successfully using Node.js with Express and Redis to handle sessions.

The problem I\'m having is that the session is not kept when I use res.redirect

Your code looks pretty solid, but is there a reason you're using client.end()? It forcibly closes the redis connection and is not clean. I don't think you need it at all:

I am not sure about the underlying architecture for connect-redis, but I'm wondering if calling client.end is what's resetting your sessions. What happens if you take those out?
