sails.config.http

Configuration for your app's underlying HTTP server. These properties are conventionally specified in the config/http.js configuration file.

Properties

Property Type Default Details
middleware ((object)) See conventional defaults for HTTP middleware A configuration object of all HTTP middleware functions your app will run on every incoming HTTP request. All Express or Connect middleware is supported.
Example
middleware.order ((array)) See conventional defaults for HTTP middleware order The order in which middleware should be run for HTTP request (the Sails router, which runs the appropriate explicit routes, policies, controllers, etc. from your app is invoked by the "router" middleware).
cache ((number)) cache: 31557600000 The number of seconds to cache flat files on disk being served by Express static middleware (by default, these files are in .tmp/public)
The HTTP static cache is only active in a 'production' environment (default 1 year), since that's the only time Express will cache flat-files.
serverOptions ((object)) TODO TODO

Notes

  • Note that this HTTP middleware stack configured in sails.config.http.middleware is only applied to true HTTP requests-- it is ignored when handling virtual requests (e.g. sockets)

  • You cannot define a custom middleware function with the key order (since sails.config.http.middleware.order has special meaning)
