Little old post but I had the same problem

Using express 4.+ my code looks like this and it works great after two days of extensive testing.

var url         = require('url'),
    homePath    = __dirname + '/../',
    apiV1       = require(homePath + 'api/v1/start'),
    bodyParser  = require('body-parser').json({limit:'100mb'});

module.exports = function(app){
    app.get('/', function (req, res) {
        res.render( homePath + 'public/template/index');
    });

    app.get('/api/v1/', function (req, res) {
        var query = url.parse(req.url).query;
        if ( !query ) {
            res.redirect('/');
        }
        apiV1( 'GET', query, function (response) {
            res.json(response);
        });
    });

    app.get('*', function (req,res) {
        res.redirect('/');
    });

    app.post('/api/v1/', bodyParser, function (req, res) {
        if ( !req.body ) {
            res.json({
                status: 'error',
                response: 'No data to parse'
            });
        }
        apiV1( 'POST', req.body, function (response) {
            res.json(response);
        });
    });
};
