How to specify HTTP error code?

Question

The version of the errorHandler middleware bundled with some (perhaps older?) versions of express seems to have the status code hardcoded. The version documented here: http://www.senchalabs.org/connect/errorHandler.html on the other hand lets you do what you are trying to do. So, perhaps trying upgrading to the latest version of express/connect.
