How to specify HTTP error code?

Question

I have tried:

app.get(\'/\', function(req, res, next) {
    var e = new Error(\'error message\');
    e.status = 400;
    next(e);
});

and:

Answer 1

Per the Express (Version 4+) docs, you can use:

res.status(400);
res.send('None shall pass');

http://expressjs.com/4x/api.html#res.status

<=3.8

res.statusCode = 401;
res.send('None shall pass');
